In the Blood | February 25 – March 7

Suzan-Lori Parks’ In the Blood is a classical tragedy for the postmodern age. Hester, based on The Scarlet Letter’s Hester Prynne, is a homeless single mother trying to survive and care for her five children while beset on all sides by the tyranny of city life. As various social programs reach out to "help" her, a brutal question surfaces, "exactly who is screwing who?" Beautiful, funny, and at times shocking, In the Blood takes a hard look at society as we know it. Strong sexual content.
