Written by Susan Glaspell in 1916, Trifles is a one-act play about a woman accused of strangling her husband. Based on an actual murder case reported by Glaspell for the Des Moines News, the play represented an early exploration of gender relationships in a time when women often were considered to be mere trifles. A groundbreaking feminist play, Trifles is often included in anthologies of drama and literature.

I read along with the script and some words were added or taken out of this play. I wonder if they had permission to do that. Otherwise good job

I don’t know the actual length of the text, but this radio play boiled the narrative down to its bare bone structure. The essence of the story was conveyed along with the inner conflicts of the female characters as to whether or not they should divulge the existence of the main clue for the motive: the twisted neck of the canary.

Very compelling
