A review by elisabd
The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman
SO GOOD!!! It's clear why this is a classic, and also groundbreaking for its time.
Martha made me sad. I mean, obviously. She represents what so many people still feel now, almost 100 years later. It's insane that this was written in 1934, but it's even worse that it is still so relevant and current. Martha's feelings are universal to queer people everywhere.
Also, Audrey Hepburn as Karen in the 1962 movie SLAPS. I just found out that apparently Keira Knightley played Karen in a 2011 production of the play, which only makes me want to watch it more.
