In the Blood (review)

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter provided the basis for Suzan-Lori Parks’ new play, In the Blood. Like Hawthorne’s protagonist, Parks’ Hester is made to suffer in a society that has no sympathy for adulterers. Hester, played stunningly well by Charlayne Woodard, is a homeless mother attempting to find income to feed her helpless offspring. Exploited by friends and those in a system that should help her, Hester and her children seek shelter underneath a bridge. However, despite her condition, Hester never loses hope; she calls her five children her “treasures,” admirably suggesting that human beings have more value than money.
