"Trying is the story of the internationally known Francis Biddle, Attorney
General under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chief Judge of the
Nuremberg trials. The play is set in 1967 when Biddle is 81 years old and
trying to put his life in order. Elegant, but sharply cantankerous, he
struggles with the inevitability of his age and failing health. His wife has
forced upon him a new secretary named Sarah, who is all of 25 years old, and
the two struggle to find a way to communicate. This richly scripted story
illustrates how two strangers, at two dramatically different places in their
lives, can unexpectedly and forever influence each other."
