Description
This play is based on the William March novel by the same title. It is the story of Rhoda Penmark, eight years old, and her mother (Christine). The young girl on the surface seems to be a perfect child, but is an evil and emotionless murderess. This original book is credited with starting the genre books and films about evil or psychopathic children.
