Role: Mistress Hibbins

“In 17th-century Puritan Boston, Hester Prynne has been branded an adulteress and sentenced to wear the scarlet letter A on her dress. But she turns the mark of her shame into a badge of beauty and refuses to name her lover, the father of her daughter, Pearl. When Hester's long-lost husband unexpectedly reappears, however, he will stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Narrated by the spirited Pearl, this stripped-bare stage version of the ‘greatest American novel’ makes for a raw and exhilarating theatrical experience.” (BroadwayWorld)

At the very beginning of the Salem Witch Trials, the seductive and mysterious Mistress Hibbins is widowed and branded a witch by just about everyone in Boston, including her brother, Governor Bellingham. She is the first to relate to Pearl, planting the idea in her head to seek out her father. The character is based off of a real woman named Ann Hibbins who was the first wealthy New Englander to be executed for witchcraft.
