Doubt, a Parable
May 4th - May 30th, Bluma
Written by John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Marti Maraden
Starring Seana McKenna and David Storch
TAGGED "BEST PLAY OF THE YEAR" by over ten newspapers and magazines, Doubt premiered at the Manhattan Theatre Club, home to New York's finest new plays. Set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, a strong-minded woman wrestles with her conscience and uncertainty relating to one of her male colleagues. John Patrick Shanley, Academy Award-winning author of Moonstruck and this new play, dramatizes issues straight from today's headlines with knowing detail and a judicious eye.

"A superb new drama...holds your conscious attention as an intelligently measured debate play, it sends off stealth charges that go deeper emotionally. ONE OF THE YEAR'S TEN BEST."
THE NEW YORK TIMES
"The #1 show of the year. Blunt yet subtle, DOUBT IS PASSIONATE, EXQUISITE, IMPORTANT AND ENGROSSING."
NEWSDAY
"Doubt may well be SHANLEY'S BEST PLAY TO DATE."
