Let Men Tremble is a provocative work which shakes the patriarchy until its weak at the knees. The production is led by The Danger Ensemble, an experimental theatre company which reinvents classics to challenge contemporary ideas and audiences. This time, they twist and crack Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter into a forceful critique of the patriarchy’s refusal to loosen its systematic control on institutions and its contamination of the historical record.
