Repertory Theatre Term XVIII Presents: The Children's Hour
by Lillian Hellman
directed by Liz Carlin-Metz

Written in the 1930s, a devastating and false accusation of what was then termed “sexual deviance” sets in motion a seething interrogation of social perceptions and norms that determine the fates of two women running a boarding school.

Though a landmark in its day, the play is a problem play by today’s standards, as similar to post-Victorian views of mental illness, congenital cognitive anomalies, and cancer- all of which were viewed as contagious and feared as retribution for sin- lesbianism was deemed an especially shocking and revolting mental disorder in a culture in which women were meant to be virgins or wives.

Tickets are available at the door an hour before each performance.
