Set in 1964, the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2004 play examines child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church
Juliana Scheding as Sister James, left, AJ Knox as Father Flynn and Kym Pappas as Sister Aloysius in New Village Arts’ “Doubt: A Parable.”In the first few minutes of John Patrick Shanley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 2004 play “Doubt: A Parable,” a Catholic priest named Father Flynn comforts his parishioners from the pulpit with a Biblical parable about a sailor lost at sea who experiences a crisis of faith.
Sister Aloysius suspects Father Flynn of molesting the school’s only Black student, the never-seen 12-year-old pupil Donald. But she has only her moral certainty to back up her suspicions. To bolster her case, she recruits the young, optimistic and innocent Sister James to help “outshine this fox” and bring him down. But Sister Aloysius’s actions, and the cost she and others will pay in her pursuit of justice, is profound.
Sherell M. Tyler is cool and reserved as Donald’s mother, Mrs. Muller, whose shocking response to Sister Aloysius’ theory are testament to a mother’s unconditional love and the struggle Black families faced in 1960s America.
