The Childrens Hour Dealing with lies and rumor is a timeless problem for man. The Children's Hour, written by Lillian Hellman, directed by James Korf, and presented as the 1983 Spring Thespian Production, captures and examines this con- flict. The play illustrates through the lives of teachers and their students how the careers, hopes, and lives of individuals can be destroyed simply by the viciousness of the tongue. In the story, two young teachers, Karen Wright fAnn Primusl and Martha Dobie CHeidi De Stigterl, begin and run the Wright-Dobie School for Girls. While they were excited about education and were 18 The Children's Hour good to their students, a new girl, Mary Tilford CKaren Erskinel who hated school and teachers, came to live at the school. Mary's hate made her vicious and made her tell lies. So little Mary made up stories about Karen and Martha because she wanted to hurt them. She told these stories to her grandmother lSusan Gortl who was a wealthy, well-respected woman and an in- fluential supporter of the school. She believed the lies that Mary told her. Because of her influence, the Wright-Dobie School for Girls closed, and the lives of Karen Wright and Martha Dobie were destroyed.
