Hawthorne's classic exploration of sin, hypocrisy and society is vividly re-imagined in this sexually charged and psychologically complex tale of obsession and revenge.  In 17th-century Puritan Boston, Hester Prynne has been branded and adulterous and sentenced to wear the scarlet letter "A" on her dress.  But she turns the mark of her shame into a badge of beauty and refuses to name her lover, the father of her daughter, Pearl.  When Hester's long-lost husband unexpectedly reappears,  however, he will stop at nothing to uncover the truth.  Narrated by the spirited Pearl, this stripped-bare stage version of the "greatest American novel" makes for a raw and exhilarating theatrical experience.

Cast include:  Andy Axewell; Brigid Kimery Vance; Leanna Duncan; Freddie Tate; Premadonna Braddick; Xavier Sagel; and, Rick Luttrell
