TRIFLES (1916) by Susan Glaspell and ESCAPED ALONE (2016) by Caryl Churchill

Written one hundred years apart in drastically different styles, these one-act plays of murder and mayhem share startling similarities, depicting the lives of women with precision, ferocity and immense empathy. TRIFLES presents a desolate farmhouse, a disturbing crime, and two women who detect the clues their husbands refuse to see. In ESCAPED ALONE, three old friends and a neighbor chat over tea in the garden, spilling secrets and apocalyptic visions. This darkly entertaining double-bill brims with exquisite writing and remarkable characters.
