"When a schoolgirl's whisper spreads," press notes state "it triggers a chain of events with extraordinary consequences.  Karen Wright and Martha Dobie run a girls’ boarding school in 1930s New England, where they become entangled in a devastating story of deceit, shame and courage." Banned in London and several cities across America, The Children's Hour received its world premiere on Broadway in 1934. 

The Children’s Hour is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions & Scott Landis.
