Doubt

By John Patrick Shanley. “What do you do when you’re not sure” Father Flynn asks the audience in the opening line of this play, setting the stage for a story of suspicion and moral uncertainty. His colleague, Sister Aloysius, is old-school and insists that students not be coddled. Flynn believes the clergy should be more accessible to the parish and be thought of “as members of their family.” These two schools of thought come into direct conflict when Aloysius suspects Flynn of “interfering” with Donald Muller, the school’s first black student.
