      December 23, 2004: This is indeed a beautiful play when it all comes together. Both ladies of the script are very well developed characters. It brings new thought to the overlooked mischief of children.

      September 06, 2002: Lillian Helman's Children's Hour takes a pleasant school environment and turns it upside-down with one little lie. Amazing in its realistic relationships. If you thought you hated Abigail in Miller's Crucible, wait till you meet Mary.
