A Broadway hit, 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 follows a high-priced call girl incarcerated on a charge for killing a violent "john". The State, represented by a court appointed psychiatrist and an aggressive prosecutor, say Claudia Faith Draper is unfit to stand trial. As testimony from experts, physicians and her parents unfolds, with her psyche and childhood dissected, she proves to the judge that she isn't "nuts" and stands legally sane at trial for manslaughter.
Reviews
'Nuts' a good start to St. Louis Actors' Studio's new season
Gerry Kowarsky, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
thrilling moments — that remind us of why we love to go to the theater
Dennis Brown, Riverfront Times
Nuts is that third kind of great show. It's what Chekhov wanted for us. It's what Stanislavski wanted for us. And it's what you should expect, every single time you go out to the theatre.
