content: Reproduction of a play script first performed in 1934 about a young boarding school student who lies about her teachers having a lesbian affair. The play was performed on Broadway, but when it later moved to other theaters (particularly in Boston) it faced censorship due to its mention of lesbian relationships. This play has been referred to as the "precursor" to Arthur Miller's The Crucible (1953).
