"Playwright <a href=""http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/episodes/lillian-hellman/about-lillian-hellman/628/"" target=""_blank"">Lillian Hellman</a> began her theatrical career in the 1930s as a reader in the Hollywood studio system. She went on to pen plays that featured themes of infidelity, aging and revenge, and won many accolades. Hellman's play ""The Children's Hour"" chronicled two teachers falsely labeled as lesbians, leading to tragic consequences. Modern playwright Sarah Ruhl, left, has likewise explored the idea of sexuality and misunderstanding. Her Tony Award winning play ""In the Next Room"" (or ""The Vibrator Play"") looks at two women in unsatisfactory marriages who seek sex therapy."
