Nuts by Tom Topor
6 Men,3 Women
Author of: Answers; Boundary County,Idaho; But Not For Me; Here To Stay;
Nuts has been called the best courtroom melodrama since Witness for the Prosecution and The Caine Mutiny Court Martial
Set in a courtroom in New York's Bellevue Hospital, the story concerns an incarcerated woman's valiant attempt to fight those who want to have her committed as mentally incompetent to stand trial on a manslaughter charge
The State, represented by a court appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor, say Claudia Faith Draper is nuts. In the course of this arresting yet at times very funny drama, she demonstrates to the judge that she isn't crazy and goes off in the end to stand trial on the manslaughter charge
"[Has] the audience rooting for the good guys and hating the bad guys, as if the whole event was the most beautifully professional wrestling match you have ever seen. Nuts is a play that moves you ... you are in court watching a woman fight for what she believes is her total future" ~ N.Y. Post
