What could drive a woman to murder? First performed by the Provincetown Players in 1916, the drama opens with the farmer John Wright dead and his wife, the only suspect, held for his murder. As the Sheriff and the County Attorney search for clues, the sheriff’s wife and a neighbor, relegated to her kitchen, imagine the wife’s life. “Trifles” not only solves a mystery but also questions a justice system unconcerned with the realities of women’s lives.
A gifted all-woman cast brings this play to life!
