Doubt by John Patrick Shanley

The Jupiter Community Players present the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Doubt, by John Patrick Shanley. While running for over two years on Broadway, Doubt was hailed by numerous critics as the must-see show of the year. Time Magazine called it "The #1 show of the year" and went on to describe it as "simple in outline, complex in resonance." The New York Times called it "inspired and extraordinary," and the Washington Post called it "remarkable."
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, Doubt is a provocative and gripping story of suspicion and suspense! Set in 1964, the play could not be more contemporary in its examination of a priest suspected of misconduct. When Sister Aloysius, a rigid Bronx school principal, accuses a progressive and engaging priest, Father Flynn, of having improper relations with a young male student, she inadvertently raises questions that force her to confront the foundation of her own moral certainty. Dynamic yet subtle, manipulative yet full of empathy, Doubt is a beautifully balanced drama that draws its power from its ambiguity. In lean, potent and passionate language, John Patrick Shanley courageously leads us into the shadowy and elusive realm of human nature and ultimate truth.
