Child's Play is a stage play written by Robert Marasco. It opened on Broadway on February 12, 1970 at the Royale Theatre, and ran for 342 performances, closing on December 12, 1970. The production was produced by David Merrick and directed by Joseph Hardy.
The play centers on the rivalry between two faculty members at St. Charles, an exclusive Roman Catholic boarding school for boys.

Marasco's only play, he initially wrote the script in 1966, under the title The Dark. The atmosphere of the play, although not the plot, was derived from Marasco's experiences as a teacher of Latin and Greek at Regis High School, a highly regarded Jesuit school in Manhattan.

In 1972, Sidney Lumet directed a screen adaptation under the same title.

Presented by [[PACT]] in 1971, directed by ?, starring [[Siegfried Mynhardt]], [[Michael McGrovern]], [[John Hayter]], [[Kenneth Baker]], [[John Hussey]], and [[Norman Coombes]]. After the production's run in Pretoria, it toured to East London, Port Elizabeth, Durban and Cape Town.
