The Children's Hour - Paperback

The Children's Hour is a play written by Lillian Hellman that tells the story of two women who run a boarding school for girls in New England. When a vindictive student accuses them of having a lesbian relationship, their lives are turned upside down as the scandal spreads throughout the community. The play explores themes of homophobia, prejudice, and the power of lies. It was first produced on Broadway in 1934 and was considered controversial for its time. The Children's Hour has since become a classic of American theater and remains a powerful work that challenges audiences to examine their own biases and assumptions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
