Trifles
Susan Glaspell
Emily Trabold
"The most important woman playwright of her time, a successful novelist, the mainstay of the Provincetown Players, a fine actor in her own works, and a leading writer chronicling feminist struggles of the period: Susan Glaspell was one of the most respected "strange bedfellows," as Steven Watson has called those who brought modernism to America. And yet today she is virtually unknown."

“If the Provincetown Players had done nothing more than to give us the delicately humorous and sensitive plays of Susan Glaspell, they would have amply justified their existence."
--- John Corbin of the New York Times, 1919
