In this brilliant and powerful drama, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school
principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young
Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.

​“All the elements come
invigoratingly together like clockwork in John Patrick Shanley’s provocative
new play, DOUBT, a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior
that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of
moral certainty. Something rare for this season: a laudable new American
play.” —Variety.

“How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite
ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far.
Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set
in 1964 but could not be more timely. In just ninety fast-moving minutes,
Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. DOUBT is a lean, potent
drama…passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.” —NY Newsday.

“A beautifully balanced drama. Shanley is a writer working at the top of his
craft, making the most of a muted but evocative palette in the pursuit of
truth’s shadows. Here, for the first time in a long time, is a play that is about
something.” —Chicago Tribune.

​“An eloquent and provocative investigation
of truth and consequences. A gripping mystery, tightly written.”
—Time Out NY.
