DOUBT
AT BERT CHURCH LIVE THEATRE, October 21-October 22
Written by By John Patrick Shanley
Directed by: Mandi Fusaro Smith
What do you do when you’re not sure?” So asks Father
Flynn, the progressive and beloved priest at the St. Nicholas Church School in
the Bronx, in his sermon. It’s 1964, and things are changing, to the chagrin of
rigid principal Sister Aloysius. However, when an unconscionable accusation is
leveled against the Father, Sister Aloysius realizes that the only way to get
justice is to create it herself. And as for the truth of the matter? As Father
Flynn says, "Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.”
In stunning prose, John Patrick Shanley delves into the murky shadows of moral
certainty, his characters always balancing on the thin line between truth and
consequences. Doubt: A Parable is an exquisite, potent drama that will raise
questions and answer none, leaving the audience to grapple with the discomfort
of their uncertainties
