"When you change the way you look at things... the things you look at change!"
As promised here’s the first scene from my award winning musical theatre adaptation of Dale Wasserman's original stage play - 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' - from the novel by Ken Kesey. I’d like to post a different scene/song every other day or so, in chronological order… some will be only 5 minutes in length, others 10 to 15 minutes in length! SO… if you like what you hear and see, please kindly ‘like' here, and on the facebook page, feel free to make your comments, and please share with your friends! It is our intention, wherever possible and appropriate, that any future professional productions should work with local and national mental health organisations and charities with a view to support, awareness and education!

Hey Chris! Welcome! What was it like adapting ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST into a musical?

Hi Nick, What can I say... initially, during the creative writing process it was fun, inspirational, challenging and rewarding... which continued into the workshops and production processes... along with frustration, sleepless nights and blood, sweat 'n' tears! I've been re-writing and hope to soon record the new songs in preparation for the next stage of development - more workshops!
