Intermeddlers: The Censorship of Lillian Hellman’s The Children’s Hour

Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour opened on Broadway in 1934. This drama about two schoolteachers falsely accused of having a lesbian affair was a popular and critical success--but the subject matter caused authorities to ban the play in many locations. This new work combines excerpts from Hellman's controversial play and material from the 1936 case which sought to have the play banned.
