When Mrs. Hale Says She Wants To See John - How Does Mrs. Wright React?

A one-act play by Susan Glaspell. First performed in 1916, the play is loosely based on the murder of John Hossack, which Glaspell reported on while working as a news journalist for the Des Moines Daily News. Hossack's wife, Margaret, was accused of killing her husband. However, Margaret argued that an intruder had killed John with an axe. She was convicted but it was overturned on appeal.
