A provocative and gripping story of suspicion and scandal. Set in 1964, DOUBT could not be more contemporary in its examination of truth and consequences. When Sister Aloysius, a rigid Bronx school principal, accuses a progressive and engaging priest, Father Flynn, of having improper relations with a young male student, she inadvertently raises questions that force her to confront the foundation of her own moral certainty. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative yet full of empathy, DOUBT is a brilliant and beautifully balanced drama that draws power from ambiguity. In lean, potent and passionate language, John Patrick Shanley courageously leads us into the shadowy and elusive realm of human nature and ultimate truth.
