Doubt by playwright John Patrick Shanley is set against the backdrop of a Bronx Catholic school, Doubt is the story of a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision when she suspects a popular priest of inappropriate behavior with a student. Armed with nothing more than a resolute belief in her suspicion, the nun instigates a relentless campaign to remove the priest, with the help of a subordinate nun and the student's tormented mother.
Nothing is certain. Should she voice her concerns, even if she's not entirely certain of the truth? ‘What do you do when you're not sure?" Father Flynn asks the audience in the opening line of this play, setting the stage for a story of suspicion and moral certainty.
