The Children's Hour is a play written by Lillian Hellman, first produced on Broadway in 1934. The story is set in an all-girls boarding school run by two women, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie. When a malicious student, Mary Tilford, accuses the two women of having a lesbian relationship, their lives are turned upside down. The rumor spreads quickly, and the school and the community turn against them. The play explores themes of homophobia, gossip, and the power of lies. Hellman's work was groundbreaking for its time, as it was one of the first plays to openly address homosexuality. The Children's Hour has been adapted into several films and has been staged numerous times in theaters around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
