One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at Baytown Little Theater

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.”
