One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

When Randle P. McMurphy gets transferred for evaluation from a prison farm to a mental institution, he assumes it will be a less restrictive environment, but the martinet Nurse Ratchet runs the psychiatric ward with an iron fist, keeping her patients cowed through abuse, medication and sessions of electroconvulsive therapy. The battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratchet soon affects all the ward’s patients—and presumably the Iberia Performing Arts League's audience. 7:30 pm on Thursdays–Saturdays; 2 pm on Sundays. Tickets are $10 at ipaltheater.com, at the door, or at Delaune's Pharmacy, the Daily Iberian, and Allain's Jewelry.
