Centaur Theatre Presents Doubt

Performances will take place from February 24 to March 29, 2009.

When she suspects a new priest of sexually abusing a student, she is faced with the prospect of charging him with unproven allegations and possibly destroying his career as well as her own. To help build her case, she asks for help from an idealistic young nun, who finds her faith in compassion challenged, and the protective mother of the accused boy, the first black student ever admitted to St. Nicholas.

" Doubt is a lean, potent drama...passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely." - Newsday

"A superb new drama....Even as Doubt 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." - New York Times -- www.centaurtheatre.com
