‘Doubt’ play dates, times and cast

0 comments

Play:  Doubt: A Parable

Playwright:  John Patrick Shanley

Genre: Drama

Setting:  An all-boys Catholic school in the Bronx

Synopsis:  Sister Aloysius, the prickly principal of an all-boys Catholic school in a working-class part of the Bronx, is feared by students and colleagues alike. But when she suspects nefarious relations between the charismatic priest Father Flynn and a student, she’s forced to wrestle with what’s fact, what’s fiction, and how much she’ll risk to expose the difference—all the while wrestling with her own bone-deep Doubts.

Awards: Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning Best Play in 2004.

Historical Note:  The 2004 play was subsequently made into a movie starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Viola Davis, and Amy Adams, each nominated for Oscars for their performances. A recent Broadway revival at the Todd Haimes Theatre just closed on April 21st. Shanley told Vulture that he was influenced to write the play in part by the discovery that a teacher from his own Catholic school had been a serial abuser.
