Well-known actors Kirk Douglas as McMurphy, Gene Wilder as Billy Bibbit, and Ed Ames as Chief Bromden appeared in the play. The story was made famous in 1975 when Hollywood remade it into a movie starring Jack Nicholson as the Devil-May-Care R.P McMurphy. The movie was the second in Hollywood history to sweep the Academy Awards, winning all five major nominations, including best actor, Jack Nicholson and best actress, Louise Fletcher as the formidable Nurse Ratched. In the story, R.P McMurphy, the anti-hero, is transferred to a mental institution to finish of his jail sentence. Claiming insanity in the belief that an asylum would be much cozier than the work farm, McMurphy lands himself in the ward run by the manipulative and sadistically charming Nurse Ratched. The play explores the age-old battle of good vs. evil and freedom vs. oppression. McMurphy begins an uprising in the ward, as his devil-may-care honesty breaths life into the emasculated patients and leads them out of their introversion.
