STREAMING Now - April 18th

Directed by David Ellenstein
Featuring Emily Goss & James Sutorius

Based on the playwright’s experience as an assistant to famed Attorney General and Chief Judge at Nuremberg, Francis Biddle, during the final year of his life. The play is a riveting portrayal of two wildly different personalities struggling to understand each other. TRYING presents a respectful snapshot of American history. Told with great humor, compassion, and insight, this is powerful, compelling theatre.
 

“Thanks to naturalistic direction by David Ellenstein, excellent performances and chemistry between its two actors and detailed, authentic scenery and props, “Trying” doesn’t feel as artificial or stiff as so many plays on film do. ‘Trying’ is an entertaining and well-produced play.”

- Pam Kragen, The San Diego Union~Tribune

 

“North Coast Repertory Theatre offers a smashing filmed production of Joanna Glass’ play “Trying,” highlighted by two brilliant performances by James Sutorius and Emily Goss as the principals.”

- Jean Lowerison, San Diego Stage & Screen

 

“North Coast Repertory Theatre shines with character driven Masterpiece. Director David Ellenstein spotlights his superior actors in a way only he can. Another sure-fire hit.”
