Fucking A
''Fucking A'' is a play written by American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. It was produced by DiverseWorks for Infernal Bridegroom Productions, and premiered at the DiverseWorks Artspace in Houston, Texas on February 24, 2000.〔Parks, Suzan L. The Red Letter Plays. New York: Theatre Communications Group, 2001. (P. 114)〕
==Background==
''Fucking A'' is inspired by the novel ''The Scarlet Letter'', written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850. ''Fucking A'' shares several similarities with this work; both of the main characters are named Hester and are strong females with an unwavering love for their illegitimate child. Both Hesters also bear the letter “A” as a symbol of how society defines them: the modern Hester is an abortionist, the original is branded for adultery.
The idea for the play came to Parks while she was canoeing with a friend, when Parks yelled out, "I'm going to write a play, a riff on ''The Scarlet Letter'', and I'm going to call it 'Fucking A'. Ha, ha, ha!"〔 While Parks was initially joking, she couldn’t get the idea out of her mind. She began working on the play, but after 4 years of drafts and rewrites she still hadn’t come up with a workable plot. She threw out everything except the title and the name Hester, and considered throwing out the latter as well, but the voice of Hester filled her mind and persuaded her to retain it and write Hester's story.
