Fucking a

Fucking A 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.
