Fucking A
In Fucking A, Hester Smith, the shunned local abortionist, hatches a plan to buy her jailed son’s freedom — and nothing will deter Hester from her quest.
In this gritty journey of story and song, Hester’s branded letter A becomes a provocative emblem of vengeance, violence, and sacrifice. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks, Fucking A was inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic novel, The Scarlet Letter; Parks’s brilliant reimagining of the tale feels deeply contemporary as though it has been pulled from our contemporary headlines.
