"Fucking A" by Suzan Lori-Parks and directed by Patdro Harris is presented by Boston University School of Theatre in Studio ONE (December 7-10, 2023) , is an otherworldly tale involving a noble mother, her wayward son and others. Hester Smith, the revered and reviled local abortionist, hatches a plan to buy her jailed son’s freedom—and nothing will deter Hester from her quest. In this violent and wild-eyed blend of story and song, which harkens to Brechtian and Jacobean structure, Hester’s branded letter A becomes a provocative emblem of vengeance, violence and sacrifice.
