One flew over the cuckoo's nest (2008)

What is a psychopath? A lunatic, a mentally derranged person? Or anyone who doesn't fit in with the way "normal" people feel and act? It's hard to tell. But you could had thought at least about this question while watching the EDC's play One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest by Dale Wasserman, based on the novel by Ken Kesey.

Randle McMurphy is a criminal who is assigned to a lunatic asylum in order to have his psychological accountability tested. In his eyes, however, the ward is ruled by the ruthless Nurse Ratched, who oppresses her patients by treating them like little children. Immediately, McMurphy sets about rearranging the ward's hierarchy and in doing so comes up against problems that run deep, right to the roots of human behaviour and society in general.

Thadden school's and Heidelberg Municipal's psychiatric ward watched a play full of irony and black humour, about broken dreams and bitter truths, about human cruelty and injustice, but also, perhaps, about little rays of hope in an unhappy world.
