One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Wed, 2 Apr 2003, 03:50 pmCheck HER putting a review up before the show has officially opened!! One of the Perks of being a Blak Yak Family Member, is that one can turn up unannoucned and uninvited to the last dress rehearsal and NOT get kicked out on one's arse!!!!
I had to put something up about this, because it's bloody excellent y'all! BLOODY excellent! Jemma has assembled a terrific and diverse cast. I guess portraying a mental patient could well be considered "easy" and I was hoping we wouldn't be subjected to Foetally Positioned Rocking Nutters. We certainly are not!!! Each actor has taken great pains in really Finding their characters and they are all so different!
A couple you want to wrap up in your arms and protect from the world (Seany and Stevie, I'm lookin' at you here!). So sweet and innocent in fact, they made my necrotic womb Kick In. One is really scary, "Scanlon" (I'm so sorry, I'm still learning names.....) Jason, you are a frighteningly convincing Catatonic! David's portrayal of "Harding" was certainly one of the stand outs! Just gorgeous! Kurtis does Randall McMurphy justice, and I just LOVE the hair, or lack there of! And Eddie, as always, is fantastic. His "Cheif Bromden" will BREAK your heart. The "hospital staff" must also be mentioned. Great work! And NObody has overdone it! Thank heavens for that!
The women of the cast are a pack of babes! Emma, your nurse RatShit is hateful!!!! Perfect!! And the Party scene in Act 2 was jaw droppingly good. Men, you'll know WHY, when you go and see it. Because you must. Because it ROCKS!
Well done to director, cast and crew. You've got a wonderful show here! Blak Yak seasons are not marathon runs like KADS, so DON'T put this off, if you do you will miss out and you'll have no-one to blame but yo'selves!!
So there!

Well...5 minutes to get served; 5 minutes to puruse the crowded foyer bar; 5 minutes to charm and seduce her...but then I still had to finish my drink....
