When writing the title of a play on programme cover or in an article, which is correct? e.g.

‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’

“One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”

‘One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest

One flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest

‘One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’

 

 

Or do you have a version of your own?

Depends

Technically, as I understand it;

  • Programme title: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
  • Referenced in an article: "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (although I have seen it with single quotes, or even underlined.)
  • When not making reference to the play, film, book but that a cuckoo's nest was actually flown over: Then one flew over the Cuckoo's nest. ... Or is that cuckoo's nest?
