Truth and Consequences Explored in Thrilling Drama DOUBT: A PARABLE

Apocalypse Theatre Company in association with Red Line Productions is thrilled to present John Patrick Shanley's multi award-winning drama Doubt: A Parable for a limited season at the Old Fitz Theatre from 10 May.

Amidst the turbulence of the 1960s, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal and stern Catholic nun, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students. An accusation sets the stage for a powerful clash of authority, tradition, responsibility and faith.

Where do you draw the line between belief and suspicion? Between scandal and moral certainty. And when does the battle for truth turn into a witch hunt?

Dino Dimitriadis (ASYLUM, Construction of the Human Heart) will direct a talented cast including Charmaine Bingwa (Deadly Women, A Snowflake on the Tongue of Oberon), Damian de Montemas (Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities - AFI Award winner, The Secret Life of Us, Home and Away), Belinda Giblin (Blonde Poison - Sydney Theatre Award nominee, The Turquoise Elephant, Sons and Daughters) and Matilda Ridgway (A Doll's House - Sydney Theatre Award winner, c*ck- STA nominee, The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant - STA nominee).

Originally staged off-Broadway, the play transferred to Broadway in 2005 and sustained 550 performances over almost 18 months. The play won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and was turned into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Amy Adams and Viola Davis, all of whom received nominations for their performances.
