What cuckoo's nest?

Well, the story is...I happen to be taking a class on writing and reviewing the arts. The name says it all; we watch and review different arts. Movies, books, plays...you name it. Interestingly enough, today we had a visit from the Director,Laura Long, of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She gave us a lot of insight on here role as a director and her team that helps her put the whole show together. When I was in high school, I read the book and watched the movie. However, today when Long spoke, she said that there is always a theme in a play, otherwise there would be no point to even have a play. She also mentioned that the "thought" she is trying to get across in the play is: Who determines whether a person is insane or not? I am very excited to see this play because her intereptation of the book has never really been done before.
