"Doubt" Revival: A Powerful Exploration of Allegations and Uncertainty on Broadway

The revival of John Patrick Shanley’s play "Doubt: A Parable" at the Todd Haimes Theater in Manhattan stars Amy Ryan and Liev Schreiber in a compelling portrayal of a battle of the sexes within the Catholic Church in 1964. The play delves into the moral complexities surrounding pride, the priesthood, and presumptions of pedophilia, offering a sturdy melodrama, detective yarn, and character study that explores the unknowable. Sister Aloysius, a forbidding nun, clashes with Father Flynn, who seeks to give the church "a more familiar face," leading to a gripping exploration of faith and power dynamics.
