DOUBT

A PARABLE

Written by John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Steph Link

As our first production at King Street Theatre, Swamp Rat Experience proudly presents Doubt: A Parable by John Patrick Shanley – Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play.

PLAYING JUNE 5-7 & 12-14, 2025, AT KING STREET THEATRE

Set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, Doubt: A Parable is a powerful and provocative drama that delves into power, morality, and the unsettling ambiguity of truth.

When the unyielding Sister Aloysius suspects the well-liked Father Flynn of inappropriate conduct with a student, she sets out to expose him, despite having no concrete evidence. As tensions rise, young and idealistic Sister James finds herself torn between trust and suspicion, while Mrs. Muller, the pragmatic mother, makes an unexpected choice in her fight to protect her son.

With razor-sharp dialogue and unforgettable confrontations, Doubt: A Parable challenges audiences to wrestle with uncertainty, justice, and the consequences of conviction.
