Trifles (a version of "A Jury of Her Peers")
I strongly recommend that students in my "Introduction to Literary Studies" and "Amercian lit 1915-Present" courses see the Seton Hill production of "Trifles," which is Susan Glaspell's one-act play that covers the same material as the short story "A Jury of Her Peers".
Setonian Online: McDonough presents Trifles as student directed play
"Trifles is a murder/mystery but with a twist. It has a nice build to the climax...it'll make people think," said McDonough. "Directing Trifles gave me a chance to go more in depth with the theories I learned...and this also helped me to develop my own directing style." Assistant stage manager Rose Marotta said, "This play is gender-geared. It examines female roles in a male dominated society of the early 1900s."
The free play runs Friday, March 12 to Sunday March 14 in St. Mary’s Hall.
