One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Pittsburgh City Paper: It's impossible to see a stage play of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest without thinking of Jack Nicholson — which is sort of absurd. The story began as a 1962 novel by Ken Kesey. A year later, Dale Wasserman adapted a stage version, now in performance at Little Lake Theatre. And in 1975, Nicholson took the role of Randle Patrick McMurphy. So the world's coolest con artist does not belong to Nicholson. This month, the role belongs to Nick Murosky, and Murosky truly owns it.
