A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Trifles, by Susan Glaspell, is a revered early feminist play telling its story with mystery and suspense, while The Greenhouse is a brand-new play by award-winning playwright Robert Karmon, using surreal and comic elements, both depicting difficult issues between men and women.
Trifles begins as the county attorney, the sheriff, Mr. Hale, Mrs. Peters, and Mrs. Hale enter the Wrights' empty farm house. On prompting from the county attorney, Mr. Hale recounts his visit to the house the previous day, when he found Mrs. Wright behaving strangely and found her husband upstairs with a rope around his neck, dead. Mr. Hale notes that, when he questioned her, Mrs. Wright claimed that she was fast asleep when someone strangled her husband. Often hailed as one of the quintessential feminist plays, Trifles earned Glaspell a Pulitzer Prize and renewed literary recognition.
The Greenhouse by Robert Karmon is receiving its world premiere in this production. It is a surreal, dark comedy about two strangers who meet on a (perhaps) blind date in a restaurant, and the power struggle that ensues…"
