Description
This is a Pulitzer Prize-winning drama about stubborn moral certainty in the face of a lack of firm evidence - a big hit on Broadway. Chosen as the best play of the year by over ten newspapers and magazines, "Doubt" is set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, where a strong-minded woman wrestles with her conscience in the face of 'concerns' about one of the teaching fathers. "Doubt" opened at the Manhattan Theatre Club before transferring to Broadway, winning the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama/
Author Biography
John Patrick Shanley is best-known for his Oscar-winning screenplay for Moonstruck. He has also written numerous plays for theatre and TV. Coming from an Irish family, he was born and bred in the Bronx, where Doubt is set.
Reviews"'A superb new drama... an inspired study in moral uncertainty within the compellingly certain structure of an old-fashioned detective drama. Even as Doubt holds your attention as an intelligently measured debate play, it sends off stealth charges that go deeper emotionally' New York Times 'How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity... Blunt, yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely' Newsday"
