Actor Jung Han-yong to Star in 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'

Veteran actor Jung Han-yong will star in a stage play for the first time in 20 years. Jeong has been cast as Randle Patrick McMurphy in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", to open at the First Fire Cecil Theater in Jeongdong, Seoul on September 18.

Jeong, who debuted as a TV actor in the 1980s, has performed in numerous stage productions including Macbeth, Juno and the Peacock, A Taste of Honey, The Good Doctor and The Tiger Lady.

Jeong recently told reporters that he was ecstatic to be performing on stage for the first time in two decades. He said he was a fan of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest", a stage play adapted from the 1962 novel written by American novelist Ken Kesey. The play was also adapted into a hit film starring Jack Nicholson in 1975.
