DOUBT, A PARABLE
by John Patrick Shanley
directed by Martin Benson
October 19 - November 18, 2007
Segerstrom Stage

Father Flynn, an amiable young priest, is adored by his students; Sister Aloysius, an unbending principal, is pleased by the fear she invokes in them. When her spies report an incident between Father Flynn and a student, his explanation seems reasonable but doesn’t end her probing. As their cat-and-mouse game continues, the play takes on elements of a detective story, exploring issues with detailed clarity even as it keeps audiences guessing right up to the end.
