Your Opening Night Look at "The Scarlet Letter" at American Stage
Your Opening Night Look at "The Scarlet Letter" at the Raymond James Theatre by Kate Hammill Directed by Arpita Mukherjee
Running Now - February 15th, 2026 |
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.
