A review by tscott907
The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman

4.5

Intense, dark exploration of the violence that homophobia and the closet can inflict on people. Not since Briony in Atonement have I ever been so enraged by a tiny, lying blonde girl. Even though this play moves super fast and I had already seen the film adaptation earlier this year, I was still kept on the edge of my seat the entire time. Hellman balances intimacy with rage and sadness so well!
