Phyllis Nagy's play, The Scarlet Letter, has the words 'adapted from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne,' as opposed to simply saying 'an adaptation,' which is more typical. This is a subtle way of stating that the play is not intended to be a literal lifting of the story but more of a re-telling --with a purpose. Nagy's play is an examination of the deep, conflicting, often childish emotions of the adult characters, as partly witnessed and narrated by Hester Prynne's illegitimate daughter, Pearl, and shared with us. It is also a feminist work, in which the fates of a woman and a girl are seemingly controlled by the men, only to be thwarted because of Hester and Pearl's courageous willingness to follow their own paths. This gives the play a much more modern feel, in spite of the Puritan-style clothing the cast will wear. The language of the play is also more contemporary - and therefore less stilted than many plays set in an imagined past. We are approaching the play as a metaphor for our modern society: this is the past from which we came - where are we now?
