Alley Theatre Presents ‘Doubt’

Alley Theatre kicks off the 2007-2008 season with John Patrick Shanley’s Tony and Pulitzer prize-winning play ‘Doubt’.

Doubt runs from August 31 through September 23 on the Hubbard Stage and is directed by James Black. Recommended for mature audiences (Adult Content).

“A theatrical experience … sinful to miss.” wrote New York Magazine of Doubt the winner of last season’s Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. Doubt takes place in a 1964 Catholic school and is the story of a strong-minded woman faced with a difficult decision.

Should she voice concerns about the actions of her new male colleague, the liberal Father Flynn…even if she’s not entirely certain of the truth? A glimpse behind the doors of church politics, Doubt is a clash between certainty and ambiguity. According to The New York Times, Doubt is, “An inspired study in moral uncertainty with compelling structure of an old-fashioned detective novel.” -- www.alleytheatre.org
