Young Father Flynn begins a sermon by asking, “What do you do when you’re not
sure?” Audiences soon learn that little is certain in John Patrick Shanley’s
brilliant, aptly titled play.
Is Father Flynn using his positions as teacher and coach to encourage
youngsters or take advantage of them? Is hard-headed Sister Aloysius, the
school principal, protecting children from harm, or is she falsely accusing an
innocent man of a shocking betrayal of trust? Since its initial sold-out
production off-Broadway, Doubt has enthralled and stunned audiences while
garnering critical acclaim.
