Domino Theatre's fifth play of the season is "Doubt" written by *John
Patrick Shanley*. For his script for the movie, /Moonstruck/
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonstruck>, Shanley won the Academy Award
for Best Original Screenplay.
Set in a parochial school in the Bronx in 1964, "Doubt" concerns a
school principal, Sister Aloysius, who does not approve of teachers
offering friendship and compassion over the discipline she feels
students need to face the harsh world. When she suspects a new priest of
sexually abusing a young student, she is faced with the prospect of
charging him with unproven allegations and possibly destroying his
career, as well as her own. To help build her case, she asks for help
from an idealistic young nun, who finds her faith in compassion
challenged, and the mother of the student, who is protective of her son,
the first black student ever admitted to St. Nicholas.
