CHILDREN’S HOUR by Lillian Hellman
Directed by OBIE award winner Maxine Klein
When called before the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee, the playwright of this significant work, Lillian Hellman, courageously refused to give names with the now famous words “I will not cut my morals to fit the fashion of the time.” Ms. Hellman could have well made the same statement about her ground-breaking play, The Children’s Hour. At a time when homosexuals were harassed, hounded, denied work and worse, Ms. Hellman wrote the 2nd play in our nations’ history to deal with intolerance against homosexuals. Just for daring to broach the subject in a play, Ms. Hellman was denied consideration by the Pulitzer Committee and her play was banned in Boston. The audience will find in this remarkable work written in 1934, an undeniable contemporary resonance--a resonance enhanced by the fact that the issues of this play extend beyond intolerance against homosexuality to how lies and intolerance can wreck the lives of any victimized person or people.
