	'If We Are Women': Family Musings of the Heart
		It's one of several not-quite-right notes in Canadian playwright Joanna McClelland Glass's "If We Are Women," a 1993 drama directed by Steven Carpenter receiving its area premiere at Washington Stage Guild.
		The sense of melancholy is overwhelming, yet it's buoyed by the possibilities in Polly's future, represented elegantly by the ring of a doorbell when her paramour arrives for dinner.
		Glass certainly took a winding, rocky road to get to this point, but at least the destination is satisfying.

		Joanna knew it, and silently she was wondering whether she should enjoy the evening without restraint, or whether she should be careful, knowing that it was just this one evening.

		Joanna had to stifle a laugh as the Hungarian leaned over the table to aim a difficult shot, the bent position exceedingly displaying her rear side that was admittedly worth watching.

		Joanna starts with an iridized or dark base as the first layer then adds the second layer of patterned, rippled & regular glass to create the design, a third layer is sometimes added,a clear glass cap which gives the illusion of floating patterns within the pendants.
		After the pendants are designed & assembled, Joanna places them in a kiln & slowly builds the temperature up to 1500 degrees F. She holds that temperature for approx.
		The cooling down stage is critical as the glass could crack if the temperature drops to much at any stage of the process.

		Joanna shuddered, and her hands slid up to touch the huge curves of Teal'c's shoulders, her slender palms small against the size of them.

		And one that is portrayed with astonishing fidelity by the remarkable Fritz Weaver in "Trying," a heartfelt, two-character play by Joanna McClelland Glass that celebrates a great man's confrontation with his own mortality.
		Glass worked for the man just before his death nearly 40 years ago.
		Glass skillfully shows Biddle's developing reliance on the woman as he grows increasingly more frail.

		In Joanna's day (for those of you who aren't familiar with the Wars of the Roses, roughly 1455 - 1485) outside the walls on this side was the Forest of Galtres, the haunt of highwaymen.

		In fact, it's one of the strongest glasses known to man. Aizenberg is studying how the sponge is formed and has discovered individual needle-like glass beams make up the basic structure.

	Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Trying - 10/13/04
		All the more incentive for Glass to write this play: She's uniquely qualified, as she served as Biddle's secretary during the last year or so of his life, and got to know him in a way that few others did.
		Glass obviously still harbors feelings for the real Biddle, and has painted a delicate, loving portrait of him here, though she's done most of her work from the outside in and not quite reached his core.
		With practically no plot to fall back on, Glass can't create enough dramatic build-up to make the final scene as touching as she intends it, and dramatizing only five mostly benign scenes in their relationship together doesn't help.

		Among the virtues of the little body of plays about crusty old men developing nonsexual friendships with much younger women is that they allow great older actors to strut their stuff.
		In 1967, Glass, then 25 years old, became Biddle's secretary, succeeding several other women who had quit rather than put up with his cantankerousness.
		Glass spends a little more time than necessary establishing Biddle's crotchety nature, but she handles the developing trust with considerable grace and humor.

	Trying, a CurtainUp review
		Playwright Joanna McClelland Glass lets the cantankerous 81-year-old Judge Francis Biddle explain it during his first encounter with 25-year-old Sarah Schorr, the latest in a string of secretaries.
		Glass, who actually was Biddle's secretary during his last year ((he was born in 1886, died in 1968), also deserves credit for her smartly written drama.
		Glass avoids having the many facts about Biddle's personal and public life that she weaves into six scenes that span November 1967 through June 1968 feel shoehorned further testifies to her craftsmanship.

		Besides being a judge at the Nuremberg trials, this historical figure famously championed the rights of Pennsylvania coal miners during the Great Depression and served as attorney general to Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
		The playwright names her stand-in Sarah Schorr, but Schorr is Biddleâs personal secretary, just as McClelland Glass was in 1967.
		And McClelland Glass hasnât built in a story thatâs larger than her charactersâ warring personalities, so when they declare peace, thereâs nothing much left to watch.

	Aisle Say (New York): TRYING
		The two-character play is the author, Joanna McClelland Glass’s, reminiscence of a six month period in 1967, during which she was secretary to the internationally known Francis Biddle (Fritz Weaver), Attorney General under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Chief Judge of the Nuremberg trials.
		How much she makes you root for them to fulfill the formula…because, as my friend asserted, they become more complete, fuller beings for the experience.
		Glass does well by the formula, and if you’re not as cynical about its built-in manipulations, you may find it pleasing.

	Playwright resurrects script to critical acclaim
		Well, in cold fact, “I was a little older than the girl in the play and had already had three children,” says Joanna McClelland Glass, while the girl in the play, to whom the playwright has given the name of Sarah, is 25 and pregnant and unhappily married.
		In 1967, when Joanna McClelland Glass, the play’s Sarah, went to work for him, the distinguished old gentleman — a turn-of-century product of Groton and Harvard — was ailing and cranky and set in his ways and suffering intermittent memory loss while in complete austere command otherwise.
		What, under the direction of Sandy Shinner, lifts the show at the Promenade well beyond the ordinary is that fine actor Fritz Weaver at the very top of his form as Francis Biddle, opposite newcomer Kati Brazda as strong-backboned Sarah with an h struggling to maintain her good humor and inborn respectful courtesy.

		Joanna McClelland Glass based Trying on her own experiences of working in Washington, DC, in 1967 as a secretary for the 81-year-old Francis Biddle, former Attorney General under FDR and chief American judge at the Nuremberg trials.
		Both Paul Soles as Biddle and Caroline Cave as Glass' stand-in, Sarah, give exquisitely natural performances.
		Soles makes clear that Biddle's irritability stems not from Sarah but from his frustration with the debilitation of illness and aging.

		This literate, moving and surprisingly compelling two-handertwo-hander from veteran scribe Joanna McClelland Glass is the most commercially viable new work to emerge from ChiChi's Tony-winning new-play citadel in years.
		There's nothing radical in its character-driven structure -- young female secretary with issues tames but also comes to love irascible but whip-smart old judge on the edge of senility -- but this retroretro, sociopolitical docudrama set in 1967 tickles the brain delightfully, and will send older audiences into rapture.
		And McClelland Glass walks a deft line between validating her self-made feminist heroine yet also celebrating many of the values of old-fashioned, upper-crust liberalism represented by the struggling Biddle.

	They are women, hear them whine
		The phrase that keeps coming up in Joanna McClelland Glass's hyper-literary "If We Are Women" is, "Well, you know Chekhov--talk, talk, talk." It comes across as an apology for the lack of action in her own play, but the crucial difference is this: Chekhov's talkiness is interesting.
		She is closely followed by Hornecker, who as Polly at least gets to play the only sane person in the play, and manages to come across with a rare mix of naivete and intelligence.
		Trask fumbles for quite a few lines as Rachel, but you can hardly blame her, because she has so damned many, and because Rachel, the frustrated academic who obviously became an agnostic because she decided she herself was God, is easily the most annoying character in the play.
