Hester Prynne, her vengeful husband Roger Prynne, called Chillingworth, and the guilt-ridden young minister, here named Dimsdell, play out Hawthorne’s story of Puritan Boston on stage, with Governor Bellingham and the Reverend John Wilson in attendance. Satan himself appears as one of Dimsdell’s hallucinations, tempting him in blank verse.
