Where: Shaftesbury Avenue, W1D 6AR

What: An American-Indian, whom the authorities believe is deaf and dumb, tells the story of a mental institution ruled by Big Nurse on behalf of the all-powerful Combine. Into this terrifying world comes McMurphy, a brawling gambling man, who wages total war on behalf of his cowed fellow inmates. What follows is at once hilarious and heroic, tragic and ultimately liberating.

The cast includes Christian Slater, Frances Barber and Mackenzie Crook.
