DOUBT

A PARABLE

Written by John Patrick Shanley
Directed by Steph Link

SRE proudly presents John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning Best Play Doubt, A Parable. This is a tightly woven drama, an eloquent, provocative investigation of elusive truth and terrible consequence – it’s compelling and thought-provoking theatre.

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

Set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, Doubt, A Parable explores morality, authority, and the ambiguity of truth.

When strict principal Sister Aloysius suspects charismatic Father Flynn of inappropriate behavior toward Donald Muller, the school’s first Black student, she launches a crusade to expose him despite lacking proof. Caught in the conflict, kind-hearted Sister James grapples with her faith in others, while Donald’s pragmatic mother, Mrs. Muller, prioritizes her son’s well-being above all else.

Through sharp dialogue and tense confrontations, the play masterfully examines the gray areas of certainty, justice, and trust, leaving audiences questioning where the truth lies.
