Kesev's 'Cuckoo's Nest' Revisited
By CHERYL CROOKS
Kansan Reviewer
Ten years ago, Dale Wasserman's play,
"One Flower Over the Cuckoo Nest," closed from the theater just about as quickly as it opened. And then, Dale Wasserman's play has once again opened.
About one hundred people were present for the opening night of the University of Kansas Experimental Theatre production of The Wasserman play.
Wasserman, also known for 'Man of La
Mancha," has adapted the Ken Kesey novel for the stage.
Kesey and Wasserman have presented an old conflict with a different twist. The action takes place in a ward of a mental hospital on the West Coast. To this environment enters
The ward nurse, Miss Ratched, sees McMurphy's intentions of "taking over" her ward and threatening her authority. The play is built around the power struggle between the two characters. McMurphy projects his philosophies to his fellow ward, and for a while, he will be winning the confrontation with Nurse Rached.
Contributors to Education To Be Honored at Banquet
Two awards recognizing outstanding contributors to higher education in Kansas will be presented Sunday at the Higher Education Banquet.
THE HELP Award (Higher Education Leadership Prize) will be presented for the first time. This award, a plaque, is given to "an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to higher education in the state of Kansas."
Rich Lauter, co-chairman of the banquet and the awards committee, said four judges who were named in this year
"I wish that all four could be recognized with an award," Lauer said. "They have all done so."
The Rusty Leffel Concerned Student Award will be presented to a student who has made an outstanding effort to promote higher education in Kansas.
R. P. McMurphy, a boisterous, strong-willed man sent from the prison work farm.
Lefel, a graduate of the KU School of Law, is the founder of the Concerned Students for Higher Education formation. He will master of ceremonies for the banquet.
Gov. Robert Docking is the main speaker for the event.
Tickets may be purchased for $3.50 until 5
The theme of authority and conformity vs. the individual has unfortunately become old hat over the past 10 years. The play is accessible, and can be intellectually stimulating.
