In “Trifles,” Mrs. Wright has been arrested and accused of murdering her husband. The county attorney, local sheriff and neighbor who found the body inspect the crime scene to find evidence and a motive for the murder. Two of their wives come to the house to collect a few items for Mrs. Wright back at the jail and discover clues that may reveal the motive for the murder. Then they must decide whether to share what they have found with the men.
