The Story: Based on Ken Kesey’s influential novel, Dale Wasserman’s stage adaptation explores the struggle between individuality and institutional control within a state mental hospital. As a rebellious new patient challenges the authority of the formidable Nurse Ratched, patients throughout the ward begin to question the systems that govern their lives. By turns funny, heartbreaking, and unsettling, the play asks enduring questions about power, conformity, and what society chooses to call “sanity.”

Please Note: This production contains mature language and themes, including depictions of mental illness, institutionalization, racism, misogyny, sexuality, violence, and discussions of suicide.
