The Children’s Hour

A riveting drama of intrigue, Lillian Hellman’s play is about innocence, betrayal, gossip and the devastating effects of lying. The Children’s Hour tells the story of two headmistresses who run a boarding school for girls, and a spiteful school-girl who spreads an ugly, unfounded rumor about the relationship between the two women. Hailed for its daring insight, this show forces audiences to look at how a society can be swept up in a lie.
