A visceral exploration of “original sin,” Kate Hamill’s highly-theatrical, vital reimagining of THE SCARLET LETTER follows strong-willed, intelligent Hester Prynne as she tries to find her own moral compass and raise her daughter in a society that harshly punishes women for independent thought, sexuality, or defiance. Hester and the other Massachusetts Bay colonists—including her guilt-ridden lover and her estranged husband—struggle with their own deeply-ingrained shame, as they debate what transgressions might truly be “unforgivable”… and learn how violence, superstition, repression, and uncomfortable truths may shape the land that will become America.
CONTENT ADVISORY: This play contains mature content, including adult situations, self-harm, and violence.
