Based on an actual murder case Susan Glaspell reported for the Des Moines News in 1916, this one-act play represented an early exploration of gender relationships in a time when women often were considered to be mere “trifles.” The play is considered a groundbreaking work in feminist literature and is often included in American drama anthologies. Recorded at The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood, in April 2011.

The actors were all great. It was a well rounded performance of an intriguing play and it brought it to life for me to aid my study of it.
Recommended.

I listened to this for a study of ‘Trifles.’
