Doubt: A Parable
By John Patrick Shanley
Reading series Ethics and the Theater of the NY Society for Ethical Culture
Doubt: A Parable (2005) is set in a 1964 Bronx Catholic school where a strict principal, Sister Aloysius, suspects a charismatic priest, Father Flynn, of inappropriate behavior with a young male student. The play centers on her investigation, creating a tense battle of power, moral certainty, and suspicion, ending in profound ambiguity. Doubt: a parable raises important ethical questions, which we will explore in a moderated discussion after the reading.
