"Trying" is a play about the last days of Francis Biddle, the Attorney General under FDR and Chief Judge of the War Crimes Commission. This drama explores the relationship between the irascible, impatient and irritable Biddle, who is in pain physically and trying to retain his dignity and memory, and Sarah, a young, pragmatic and vulnerable woman who has been hired as his secretary. Based on a true story, the piece is ultimately a beautiful and poetic story about the growing friendship between two people with very different backgrounds.
