Even if you haven’t read Lillian Hellman’s original play, you’ll enjoy this beautiful short piece that builds and expands upon the themes of its predecessor. The relationship between the mother and daughter is incredibly well written, and despite only having ten pages to do so, Schwartz manages to explore a whole spectrum of queer anxieties, hopes, and dreams.

A beautiful piece. I love the way the mother/daughter characters interact in this brief snapshot of life. Hinting at heavier themes while still maintaining a strained relationship beat and ending the piece on an emotional and soul searing beat.

What a great 10-minute snapshot into the post story of The Children's Hour. This is an intriguing scene that presents just the right amount of information to keep the reader/viewer engaged and curious as the scene unfolds. The combined conflict, innocence and honesty of the final moments of this play provides a powerful message. Enjoyed reading this!
