DOUBT

John Patrick Shanley's very American play set in the Bronx in 1964 Bronx debuts in New Zealand February 10. I was fortunate to see the preview.

Doubt, A Parable by John Patrick Shanley, Directed by Sue Rider, Circa Theatre. With cast: Simon Ferry, Helen Moulder, Angela Green, Tanea Heke. Opens: 10 February. Preview Night 9 February, 2007.

I loved this play when I first read it this past October on a recent trip back to New York. It won the Pulitzer for Drama in 2005 and the introduction by its author John Patrick Shanley was inspiring. (He dedicates the play “...to all the many orders of Catholic nuns who have devoted their lives to serving others...Though they have been much maligned and ridiculed, who among us has been so generous?”)
