Pick up The Children’s Hour tickets to see Lillian Hellman’s classic tale on the London stage, with director Ian Rickson and a highly acclaimed cast including Keira Knightley and Elisabeth Moss ensuring this is set to be a theatre sensation of 2011. This powerful play, banned in London and many American cities for its subject matter when first released in the 1930s, makes The Children’s Hour tickets this time round all the more valued.

Engrossing tale
When a rumour by a rebellious schoolgirl spreads in a girls’ boarding school in New England during the 1930s, there are devastating consequences for the two hardworking headmistresses. The Children’s Hour tickets give the audience a chance to see a visionary masterpiece on stage about the true power of a lie which can result in completely destroying the lives of two innocent victims – this is not just a play to watch, but also a life lesson to take away.

Broadway debut
The play made its debut on Broadway in 1934 and became so much of a success it was made into a film renamed The Loudest Whisper in 1961, starring Shirley MacLaine and the iconic Audrey Hepburn. This year’s West End production is only here until 30th April 2011 so be quick to get your hands on The Children’s Hour tickets. British theatre and film director, Ian Rickson who has previously been nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Director and was the Artistic Director at the Royal Court Theatre for almost 10 years is on directing duties.

Keira Knightley
The talented and respected actress, Keira Knightley, known for her award-nominated roles in Pride and Prejudice and Atonement, as well as being the face of Chanel No.5 perfume, returns to the Comedy Theatre to play headmistress Karen Wright. Her last appearance at the Comedy Theatre in Molière’s comedy, The Misanthrope, saw Keira Knightley’s West End debut nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Elisabeth Moss
Alongside her, Golden Globe nominee for TV’s critically acclaimed US show Mad Men, Elisabeth Moss plays the other headmistress, Martha Dobie. The American screen star, who’s played opposite Angelina Jolie, Winona Ryder and Sarah Jessica Parker is making her West End debut with this production. The cherry on the top is six-time Oscar nominee and Best Actress winner, Ellen Burstyn who helps complete this incredibly talented cast.

The Children's Hour tickets are available for performances of the play at the Comedy Theatre from Thursday 27th January - Saturday 30th April 2011. To purchase tickets please click the Buy Tickets button or call 0844 847 1707.
