About This Show

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks returns to The Public Theater with Fucking A, directed by Michael Greif. The play features Bobby Cannavale, Mos Def, S. Epatha Merkerson and Daphne Rubin-Vega, and is an otherworldly tale that rips the A from The Scarlet Letter’s Hester Prynne and brands it onto the chest of Hester Smith, the Abortionist. Against all odds Hester Smith, believing her only son is wrongly imprisoned, devotes her life to securing his freedom. Featuring ten original songs, the show marks the first time Suzan-Lori Parks has extensively integrated music into her work. The result is a darkly comic and profound look into the domino effect of revenge and the lengths a mother will go for the love of her son.
