The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman

5.0

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.
