Trifles staged by Wigs and Cues drew praise and critique
Review notes that Susan Glaspell’s Trifles intrigues with its subtle plot and strong Mrs. Hale role while actors Ruth Woodbridge and Mary Opdycke deliver standout performances. Critics contrast it with David Garrick and question Brinckerhoff Theatre’s taste for subtler works.

The Blue and Green Mat of Abdul Hassan reviewed
The drama is praised for poetry and production but faulted for loose plotting and weak ensemble. Ali Barkuk and Zuleeka receive notable attention while Abdul Hassan Nasca and Abbas are seen as stereotyped. Minor roles show strong individuality yet fail to create convincing interaction.

Rosalind Delights With Witty Charm And Subtle Trickery
The reviewer praises Miss MacMahon for delicate talent and emotional depth in Rosalind with Mrs Page Beatrice theories, noting Miss Wallace's lively candor and Miss Cannon's performance. The play’s mystery persists, while the cast delivers laughs, tears, and Elizabethan flair guided by Barrie’s characterization.
