"Set in a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964."
The story centres on Sister Aloysius Beauvier, a strict and conservative nun who serves as the school’s principal, and Father Flynn, a charismatic priest who advocates for a more progressive approach to education and faith. When Sister James, a young naïve teacher expresses concern that Father Flynn may have developed an inappropriate relationship with Donald Muller, the school’s first black student, Sister Aloysius becomes convinced of his guilt – though she lacks
concrete proof.
The play unfolds as a tense moral and psychological battle between certainty and uncertainty, faith and suspicion. Sister Aloysius’s relentless pursuit of the truth collides with Father Flynn’s insistence on innocence and compassion. In the end, the audience is left with ambiguity – no definitive evidence of wrongdoing – underscoring the play’s central theme: the nature of doubt itself, both as a moral burden and a necessary part of faithSeason ticket for all 9 productions £60.00 and Special 4 Productions Ticket £30.00 available to purchase from the Box Office on 028 6632 5440.
