Trying
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]
