“Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty.” Doubt: A Parable by John Patrick Shanley is a tense, thought-provoking drama set in a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964. The play follows Sister Aloysius, the strict and conservative principal, who becomes suspicious of Father Flynn, a charismatic priest, after Sister James, a young and naïve teacher, notices unusual attention given to Donald Muller, the school’s first Black student. Without concrete evidence, Sister Aloysius embarks on a relentless pursuit to expose what she believes is misconduct, leading to a gripping moral battle between faith, certainty, and ambiguity. The play leaves the audience questioning the nature of truth, justice, and the consequences of doubt.
