There’s a legend in the dark hills of western Maine where a lumber town once prospered, until the 1930s Depression turned the settlement into a ghost town. These days the old railroad bed is used by cyclists and four-wheelers, skiers and snowmobilers, but the abandoned stone bridge that watches over them isn’t always abandoned. This is the legend of The Bridge Girl.

Read by Bari Newport

Run Time: 35 minutes

Written by Susan Glaspell
Direction and Audio Adaptation: Leslie Pasternack

Trifles was first performed in 1916 by the Provincetown Players and remains a near-perfect example of dramatic plotting and character development. Although Susan Glaspell’s work has been overshadowed by her colleague Eugene O’Neill, she was a prolific writer of fiction and essays as well as drama, and she received the 1930 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play, Alison’s House.

A play about men, women, murder and small things – that are not.

Actors:
Pamela Battin-Sacks as Mrs. Hale
Carol Raiche as Mrs. Peters
Steven Sacks as Lewis Hale
James Grillo as Sheriff Henry Peters
Scott Sullivan as County Attorney George Henderson
