In a contemporary reworking of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlett Letter, Hester La Negrita, a homeless mother of five, battles with feckless lovers, callous authority figures and the ambitions of her own children.

“Tragedy stalks Hester as relentlessly as it does the doomed queens of Euripides and Racine... Ms. Parks isn’t about to let us off the hook, any more than five-fingered fate is going to relinquish its hold on Hester.”
 Ben Brantley, New York Times
