The Children's Hour, written by Lillian Hellman, follows Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, two hard-working headmistresses who run a girls' boarding school in rural New England. As a malicious, spiteful student begins spreading a false rumour about them having a lesbian affair and their once-peaceful lives become increasingly unrecognizable, the two are forced to confront the community's intense homophobia, their crumbling relationships, and the devastating realities of societal prejudice. The production explores destructive gossip, homophobia, betrayal, and learning to live with devastating truths.
