About The Children's Hour
The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman is a gripping and thought-provoking play that delves into the destructive power of lies and societal prejudice. Set in an all-girls boarding school, the story follows Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, two dedicated teachers whose lives are upended when a vengeful student, Mary Tilford, fabricates a shocking accusation against them. The malicious lie not only jeopardizes their school but also exposes the fragility of their reputations and relationships in a judgmental society. First performed in 1934, the play examines themes of morality, truth, and the devastating consequences of unchecked rumors. A timeless exploration of human behavior, The Children's Hour remains a powerful critique of societal norms and the cost of prejudice.
