Ian Rickson's production of Lillian Hellman's The Children's Hour is now taking bookings at the Comedy Theatre until 30 April (and not 2 April as previously announced). The Children's Hour first preview on 22 January and press night on 9 February 2011 remain as originally published.
When a schoolgirl's whisper spreads, it triggers a chain of events with extraordinary consequences. Karen Wright (Keira Knightley) and Martha Dobie (Elisabeth Moss) run a girls' boarding school in 1930s New England, where they become entangled in a devastating story of deceit, shame and courage.
