Trying is inspired by the playwright Joanna McClelland Glass own real-life experiences as personal secretary to the brilliant, irascible and sometimes cantankerous Judge Francis Biddle from 1967-1968. Biddle was the former U.S. Attorney General under Franklin D. Roosevelt and later appointed by Harry Truman as Chief Justice for the Nuremberg Trials. The play concerns a young Canadian girl and an elderly Philadelphia aristocrat trying to understand each other during what Biddle realizes will be the final year of his life.
