 The classic American story of Hester Prynne, accused of adultery, ostracized by her Puritan community, and abandoned by both her lover and her husband.
The story opens in Puritan Boston, a settlement only fifteen or twenty years old. A young woman stands on a scaffold clasping a three-month-old baby. As a married woman with a missing husband and a new baby, Hester Prynne could have been sentenced to death for the crime of adultery. Instead she is condemned to always wear the letter A as a badge of her shame. While the town chorus is murmuring against her, the young and handsome clergyman publicly demands the name of her partner in crime - while desperately praying that she won't reveal him.
Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park brings this classic to rich life in a new adaptation by Anthony Schmitt. The Scarlet Letter rightfully deserves its stature as the first great novel written by an American, the novel that announced American literature equal to any in the world.
Based on the Novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne,
adapted for the stage by Anthony Schmitt |
