Keira Knightley Pictures: Keira Knightley is seen leaving her performance in "The Children's Hour" at the Comedy Theatre on January 31, 2011 in London, England.
When a troubled teenager starts to spin a web of deceit, all around her are soon caught up in it. Karen Wright (Knightley) and Martha Dobie (Elisabeth Moss) have worked for years to establish their all-girls boarding school, and now, with the school flourishing and Karen on the verge of marriage, their lives and loves finally appear secure. However, when malicious student Mary runs away from the school and seeks to avoid being sent back, she draws on hearsay, gossip, and her own imagination, to concoct a story that threatens the school, the marriage, and their entire futures.
Lillian Hellman's "The Children's Hour" was first staged on Broadway in 1934 where the play ran for over two years.
