ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

Ken Kesey gained invaluable insight into the dynamics of mental institutions by having once worked as a ward attendant; the result of this experience is the contemporary classic. . . Cuckoo's Nest. This novel poignantly depicts the lives of patients and staff alike while brilliantly interweaving comedy with dark social commentary. Mark Hammer's reading is outstanding in all respects. His characterizations are distinctive and consistently engaging. Space does not allow the proper accolades for Hammer's performance; suffice it to say, this rendering builds a strong case for acknowledging Hammer as one of the finest interpreters of our day.
