    Winner of the prestigious Jefferson Award for Best New Play, 2004. A cross-generational tour de force ensues when Sarah, a young secretary from the Canadian prairie, finds herself working for the aging Francis Biddle, Attorney General during World War II and the primary American judge on the postwar Nuremberg Trials. This intimate and inspiring story, based on the playwright’s own experience, has been acclaimed by audiences and critics in the United States and Canada. Directed by Eric C. Engel. Cast includes Richard Mawe and Becky Webber.
