Product Details

Description

This new and more intimate version of Doubt is lean and cut close to the bone. Now onstage you will see one man, sure of his power and his dominant place in the school and the church, in a battle against the women of those institutions who are confronting him. Though set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, Doubt traces a tale that is universal and contemporary. Gender politics, race relations, abuse scandals within the church; questions about personal responsibility, right and wrong, blind certainty and repressed doubt, are all intertwined. Each character grapples with their own disquieting feelings that arise unbidden, as the cultural and moral ground beneath them begins to shift , opening a chasm of the unknown beneath them.
