Timely and impactful. “Doubt” is a story that all the churched and then everyone else should know. For far too many innocent have lived it without the defense of morally perceptive and courageous nuns or the reality of fiction. John Patrick Stanley demonstrates the intricacy of real characters and a terribly real situation with writing so clean you forget it’s there. This play is an example of purity for playwrights and all our callous hearts.
