*TW for homophobia and suicide
Excellently written and undoubtedly significant. However, while this book was written in 1948, the way this book treated its lesbian character was definitely NOT ok.

2022: Reread to prep for local auditions in a few weeks! I'd forgotten how heavy this was.
Update: Playing Agatha in February! https://stowplayers.net
2018: This is my second Hellman play, and I'm definitely interested in more of her work after being mesmerized by this and The Little Foxes. I connected with Martha's character right from the beginning -- her sarcasm, her cynicism, and by the end, her desperation were all wholly real to me.
I'm also glad to see I'm not the only one who envisioned a link between Mary Tilford and Abigail Williams from The Crucible. What a spiteful little brat.

the children's hour walked so the crucible could run. nowhere near the same story but i'm sure you could put a lot of crucible fingers in a production of this, too.

me sacó una(varias) lagrimita pipipipipi
karen había terminado con joe y le había dicho para escapar juntas a otro lado y medio no le importó casi cuando martha le dijo q estaba enamorada de ella (porque en esa época con una declaración así cualquiera saldría corriendo PERO KAREN NO) POR QUÉ TENÍA QUE TERMINAR ASÍ POR QUÉ NUNCA UN FINAL FELIZ???? estoy triste

This play was well written, and I love a show with mostly women in it. Not sure how I felt about the ending, but I feel like it would be more impactful staged.
