Susan Glapsell's "Trifles" details the murder of John Wright as investigators try to piece together the evidence behind his death, which points to his wife Minnie Wright. As the investigators - all men - search the house, two women discuss the life of Minnie. ​Written at the same time as the first wave of feminism, the play contrasts how women act in public and in private as well as how they perform in front of other women versus how they perform in front of men.
