Great Feminist Play

I love this play.  The women figure out the crime while the men pretend they know how to investigate.  This reminds me of "Murder, She Wrote." 

The coolest is that people who were in jail at that time got to have some comforts of home brought to them in their cells. 

Anyway, I like the way all the little pieces--the trifles--fit together to show us what happened.  The policeman's wife faces a real dilemma and makes a difficult choice.  And the last line is so ironic.  Funny.
