The Children’s Hour

H. Lee Gable directs Cam Magee and Christopher Henley in Lillian Hellman’s The Children’s Hour. It has been seventy years since Hellman, the most prominent American female stage writer of the 20th century, scored her first hit with this play, but it remains all too timely. Seventy years of tumultuous identity politics informs this production, which examines the play with particular attention to the construction of gender and sexual identity.
