About the show:
Set within a courtroom at New York’s Bellevue Hospital, “NUTS” follows the story of a high-priced call girl accused of killing a violent client. A court-appointed psychiatrist and a determined prosecutor argue that she is mentally unfit for trial. As testimony unfolds from various experts, physicians, and her parents, she fights to convince the judge that she is mentally competent and fit to stand trial for manslaughter. “NUTS,” a Broadway sensation, has been hailed as one of the most compelling courtroom dramas since “WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.”
