This two-character play is based on the author's experience during 1967-1968 when she worked for Francis Biddle at his home in Washington, D.C.  Judge Biddle had been Attorney General of the United States under Franklin Roosevelt.   After the war, President Truman named him Chief Judge of the American Military Tribunal at Nuremburg. The play is about a young Canadian girl and an old, Philadelphia aristocrat, “trying" to understand each other in what Biddle knows is the final year of his life.  Equity Guest Artist Jonathan Farwell will read the role of Judge Biddle.
