The Scarlet Letter ~ Trinidad Community Theater SCRT

TRINIDAD HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COMPRISE THE SCARLET LETTER CREATIVE TEAM THAT IS WORKING WITH DIRECTOR HARRIET VAUGEOIS TO MAKE THE TIMELESS PIECE RELEVANT, ENTERTAINING, AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS, AS WELL AS OTHER MATURE YOUTH AND ALL ADULTS.

SET IN 17TH CENTURY BOSTON, A PURITAN SETTLEMENT AT THE TIME, YOUNG HESTER PRYNNE IS LED FROM THE TOWN PRISON WITH HER INFANT DAUGHTER, PEARL , IN HER ARMS AND THE SCARLET LETTER “A” ON HER BREAST. RUMORS IN THE CROWN MUTTER THAT HESTER IS BEING PUNISHED FOR ADULTERY.

HESTER’S HUSBAND, A SCHOLAR MUCH OLDER THAN SHE IS , SENT HER AHEAD TO AMERICA, BUT HE NEVER ARRIVED IN BOSTON (ASSUMED TO BE LOST AT SEA). WHILE WAITING FOR HER HUSBAND, HESTER HAS APPARENTLY HAD AN AFFAIR, HAVING GIVEN BIRTH TO A CHILD. SHE WILL NO REVEAL HER LOVER’S IDENTITY, BEARING THE SCARLET LETTER AND HER PUBLIC SHAMING AS HER PUNISHMENT FOR HER SIN AND HER SECRECY.

THIS MASTERPIECE EXAMINES THE TIMELESS TRUTH THAT COMPASSION AND UNDERSTANDING,ARE MORE POWERFUL AND ENDURING, THAN VENGEANCE AND CRUELTY.
