About the Show

Hester Prynne seeks a better future for herself and her daughter in this new adaptation of the tale.

Renowned American playwright Kate Hamill, known for her adaptations of classics like Pride and Prejudice and Little Women, brings a fresh perspective to Nathaniel Hawthorne's timeless story of bravery. In this exclusive debut, under the direction of Shelley Butler (known for her work on Beautiful: The Carol King Musical and A Doll’s House Part 2), the play highlights the resilience of a woman determined not to be constrained by the unfair norms of society.
