                        Nuts ,written by Tom Topor , is a courtroom drama set in the psychiatric wing of New York’s Bellevue Hospital. The play 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 drama can she demonstrate to the judge that she isn’t NUTS?

            This moving and poignant drama has the audience progressively

rooting for her victory over what seems like in surmountable odds.
