Set at a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964, this Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play concerns a strict headmistress who comes to suspect a new priest of sexually abusing a student. At first seeming absolutely sure of herself, as she questions an idealistic young nun and the mother of the alleged victim, the cracks in her resolve appear and her doubts begin to assert themselves. This powerful play will have audiences thinking about the nature faith, certainty and doubt well after the curtain descends. AstonRep Theatre Company's production is an intimate telling of this story suitable to the Boho Theatre space. The immediacy heightens the power of this dialogue and idea-driven play.

I wish five stars didn't mean "Loved It". This is not a lovable play. It is a play that is intelligent, raises important philosophical and human issues, showing the interrelatedness of all our actions. It makes one think.

The acting was generally quite good, the set, given the smallness of the space, impressive. Actonrep does, as usual, a very effective job.

Description

"What do you do when you're not sure?" Father Flynn asks in the opening line of this drama set in 1964 in a Catholic grade school in the Bronx. His colleague, Sister Aloysius, suspects him of sexual misconduct with the school's first African American student. She faces a gravely drastic decision: openly accuse a higher-up without firm evidence, or bury her suspicions and leave room for doubt. Doubt offers an honest and timely examination of the ambiguous line between gossip and truth, justice and compassion, right and wrong, certainty and doubt. In the intimate confines of the Boho Theatre at Heartland Studio in Rogers Park, AstonRep Theatre Company is very excited to present an immediate, intimate telling of this story.
