Kerry group brave the Cuckoo’s Nest

A CLEVER community take on a major international storyline is set to take amateur dramatics to a whole new level in the culture rich Sliabh Luachra heartland in Kerry.

In a major break with tradition, a local drama group has gone global for inspiration and will stage a truly unique version of the blockbuster One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest over six nights this February.

The Sliabh Luachra Drama Group chose the tense Ken Kesey drama, set in a high security American psychiatric hospital, for its eleventh production and group spokesperson Moira O’Connor-Hughes said they were anxious to try “something completely different”.
