AREA PREMIERE
By Joanna McClelland Glass
Directed by Warren Bowles
September 14 - October 7, 2007

In this affectionate comedy, a bittersweet friendship emerges between two strangers, at two dramatically different places in their lives. Judge Francis Biddle is turning 82 and fresh-faced Sarah Schorr, the latest in a string of secretaries, is hired to help with his memoirs. This rich story of life's most inevitable adventure, growing old, is inspired by the playwright's own experience with the real Judge Biddle, FDR's Attorney General and the Chief Justice of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials.

"This is just a lovely staging, confident in what it has to say: We are all flawed humans, and we need each other."  –Star Tribune [Review]

"...a warm, comfortable sweater of a play. Pull it on and brave the chill."
–Pioneer Press [Review]
