The Children's Hour extends run

The Children's Hour extends run

The Children's Hour starring Keira Knightley and Elizabeth Moss extends run until May 7th.

So it turns out Keira Knightley can indeed act on stage and The Children's Hour will extend its run once more until 7th May at Comedy Theatre.

Set in a girls' boarding school, the plays depicts the events that unfold when two school mistresses are accused of having an affair. While Knightley is probably the pout people are going to see, it seems her performance is outshone by others. Namely Bryony Hannah who plays the demented student that accuses her. Elizabeth Moss, last seen on Mad Men also proves her worth.

The play is pretty bleak and audience responses have mentioned uneven performances and a lacking script. Nonetheless, ticket sales warrant an extended run and so the West End is blessed with another 3 months of The Children's Hour.
