The Scarlet Letter at American Stage Theatre Company

In this reimagined exploration of "original sin,” Hester Prynne navigates a society that frowns upon women who dare to think, love, or rebel. Can she carve her own path and raise her daughter as a “fallen woman” in the Massachusetts Bay colony? Shame and secrets intertwine as Hester, her guilt-ridden lover, and vengeful husband confront the big question: What sins are truly “unforgivable”? In this reimagining of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s seminal work, discover how violence, superstition, and hard truths shape the America we know today.
