Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks is a modern, urban riff on
Nathaniel Hawthorne's <i>The Scarlet Letter.</i> Homeless mother Hester La Negrita lives with her five kids on the
tough streets of the inner city. Her kids, played by adult actors, double as
five other people in her life: ex-boyfriend, social worker, doctor, best friend
and minister. While Hester's kids fill her life with joy (comical moments amid
the harsh world of poverty) the supposedly supportive adults only hold her
down. Will anything prevent a tragic
end? <br>
