When a troubled schoolgirl tells a lie, it sets off a chain of events with extraordinary and damaging consequences. At their beloved boarding school Karen and Martha become entangled in a world of shame and courage when a troubled schoolgirl tells a lie to her unsuspecting grandmother. Premiering on Broadway in 1934, banned in London and several cities across America, Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour remains startlingly relevant 90 years later — a haunting reminder of the devastating consequences of deceit, lies, homophobia and fear-mongering.
