The Scarlet Letter October 11, 2010

In the year 1666, Hester Prynne and her illegitimate child live shunned by the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, consigned to a life of shame symbolized by the scarlet 'A' emblazoned on Hester's dress as punishment for her adultery. The National Players, last at the Flynn with Call of the Wild and Lord of the Flies, transform Nathaniel Hawthorne's masterpiece of American literature into a gripping drama of guilt, identity, and the sometimes hazy line between law and morality.
