About Herman B. Wells and Arthur R. Metz

"A stirring medley of emotions: anger, sorrow, bewilderment and, most poignantly, a defiant glimmer of hope." - The New York Times

" It's certain that Nagy's updated classic will take you by surprise." - American Theatre

"The Scarlet Letter might be forgotten, were it not unforgettable-both to readers and to the many writers in its debt," says novelist Kathryn Harrison. Nathaniel Hawthorne's literary masterpiece comes to life in a remarkable adaptation that takes the audience deep into the woods of conflicted erotic desires, where Puritan values confront modern ideas of sexuality. The play is striking in its rich ambiguities about guilt, sin, and the oppression of structured society and Pearl, a free-spirited character D. H. Lawrence called "perhaps the most modern child in all literature." Don't miss this tale of danger and passion.

"This play leaves you thinking that Hawthorne is perhaps the most modern writer in all of literature."- The Boston Globe
