A Farmer is found dead in the middle of winter. Strangled in his bed. When a neighboring farmer comes upon the scene the following day, he is left with no choice but to notify the sheriff. The sheriff wastes no time taking the farmer's wife, Minnie, into custody after hearing her claim to have been sleeping soundly when the tragic event occurred. As the neighbor retells his story to the sheriff and county attorney; their wives, who are there to collect personal property for Minnie, begin to form there own conclusions. And will their discoveries and growing sympathy for an isolated farmer's wife cause them to suppress vital and condemning evidence? Trifles is a timeless classic. Based on the true story of a murder that Susan Glaspell covered for a Des Moines newspaper in 1900.
