Rooftop Productions presents John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt, A Parable – winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award
Set against the backdrop of a 1960s America in the midst of political and social change, a progressive young priest’s conduct comes under question by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the school principal whose beliefs are deeply rooted in tradition.The play explores the fine line between truth and ambiguity. When evidence points to a suspicion of impropriety between Father Flynn and a young Catholic school student, Principal Sister Aloysius is certain of his guilt. She attempts to force Flynn out by enlisting the help of the young Sister James, as well as the boy’s mother. But are the accusations founded?
