Doubt

Doubt is an alternately funny, absorbing and troubling play about the bitter confrontation between a popular priest and a hard nosed nun. Father Flynn is a charismatic priest, whose presence in an old Catholic school is an invigorating change. Sister Aloysius is a veteran nun and no fan of what she sees as loosening standards. Inevitably, the two face off, but the situation is shocking.

Donald Muller, a troubled boy and the only African-American student in the school, may have been sexually abused – and the Sister is absolutely certain that Father Flynn is the molester. Sister Aloysius’ righteousness in the face of little evidence becomes as frightening as the deed for which the Father is accused. Is he guilty? Is there reasonable doubt? Is there truth? The debate on stage will haunt the audience well into the night.
