“Between the dark and the daylight...comes a pause... known as The Children’s Hour.” Lillian Hellman’s powerful debut drama from 1934 was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and is based on startling actual events. This classic thriller unfolds when a student’s vengeful lie is unleashed on a New England boarding school, creating chaos in its wake and a race against time to prevent a potentially catastrophic climax.
