Doubt, A Parable

Doubt is a gripping yarn that will propel you to the edge of your seat. Set in the Bronx in 1964, Doubt follows the investigation of a rigid Catholic school principal, Sister Aloysius (Ms. Hawkins), who suspects one of her teachers, the charismatic Father Flynn (Mr. Black) of improprieties with the school’s first black student. Caught up in her investigation is Sister James (Ms. Devers), an innocent young nun, who is torn between trying to please her superior and trying to stay true to her beliefs. In an explosive scene, Sister Aloysius, confronts the young boy’s mother, Mrs. Muller (Ms. Elam) and tries to enlist her in her relentless campaign to remove Father Flynn. The simple, yet ever-shifting plot keeps the audience guessing as to who is telling the truth, turning the play into an engrossing exploration of moral certainty.

The Wall Street Journal raved, "Thought-provoking, full of high drama that had the audience gasping out loud a half-dozen times at its startling twists and turns."
