Doubt: A Parable
by John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Marcia Kash
March 10 - March 28, 2010
An Academy Award nominated film, a Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, New York Drama Critic’s Circle, and Theatre World Award winning play, John Patrick Shanley’s brilliant and stunning master work arrives at last on the Theatre Aquarius stage! Set in the Bronx in 1964, this superbly complex work is structured as a clash of wills and generations between Sister Aloysius, the headmistress of a Catholic school, and Father Flynn, the young priest who may or may not be too fond of the schoolboys in his charge.
The New York Times says, “Even as ‘’Doubt’’ holds your conscious attention as an intelligently measured debate play, it sends off emotional stealth charges that go far deeper”. Powerful, dynamic, funny, and totally absorbing, this tour de force is not to be missed, and will force you to ask what happens when morality, religion, and doubt collide?
