Toys In The Attic by Lillian Hellman

"Toys in the Attic" is a dramatic play that delves into the complexities of family dynamics and the corrosive power of greed and secrets. Set in early 20th-century New Orleans, it follows the Berniers sisters, whose lives are upended when their younger brother returns home with his new, wealthy wife. The sudden influx of wealth exposes hidden jealousies, suppressed desires, and societal pressures that threaten to unravel the fabric of the family. As the characters confront their personal demons and the consequences of their choices, the play examines themes of moral decay, the illusion of genteel Southern society, and the destructive nature of lies and deceit.
