9.1: Trifles: The Rise of Modern Feminism on the Stage, Part 1

Question 24 • (OC27) ENG 4-1001400-S2-VRobinson-VOL7006P

Which excerpt from Trifles contains a stage direction?

Answer
A
SHERIFF (looking about). It’s just the same.
B
COUNTY ATTORNEY. Somebody should have been left here yesterday.
C
HALE. Well, she looked queer.
D
MRS. HALE. Well, I don’t know as Wright had, either.

Explanation

A stage direction gives an actor an action or describes what happens onstage, rather than being spoken dialogue. In choice A, “(looking about)” directs the sheriff to look around, so it is a stage direction. The other choices contain only spoken lines.
