The still remarkably relevant drama The Children's Hour demonstrates how the insidious power of a lie can destroy lives. Martha and Karen run an all-girls boarding school, but when a disgruntled student starts a rumor about a romance between them, the scandal rips apart friends and relationships. Even after the student realizes the damage she has done, she sticks by her falsehoods, leading to tragedy for the two women. A gripping drama, Lillian Hellman's debut play ran for two years on Broadway, a precursor to her success writing for the stage and screen. This defunkt theatre production features an accomplished ensemble of local Portland talent on stage and behind-the-scenes.
