In The Blood at The Weekend Theater

by Suzan-Lori Parks
Directed by Jermaine McClure

In this modern day riff on The Scarlet Letter, Hester, a homeless mother of five, lives with her kids on the tough street of the inner city. Her eldest child is teaching her how to read and write, but the letter A is, so far, is the only letter she knows. While Hester’s kids fill her life with joy — lovingly comical moments amid the harsh world of poverty — the adults with whom she comes into contact only hold her back.
