Maxine Peake stars in a major revival of Pulitzer Prize winning drama Doubt: A Parable, directed by Lindsay Posner.
Winner of the Tony Award for Best New Play, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, John Patrick Shanley’s acclaimed drama Doubt: A Parable gets a major new British revival.
Doubt stars award-winning actor Maxine Peake (Dinnerladies, Shameless, The Hollow Crown, Hamlet) and Olivier Award winner Ben Daniels (The Rings of Power, The Crown, House of Cards), with West End star Rachel John (Girl From The North Country, Hamilton, The Bodyguard) and Holly Godliman (The Woman in Cabin 10, Top Girls).
Directed by Lindsay Posner (Noises Off, The Deep Blue Sea), twenty years after first being performed off-Broadway, Doubt: A Parable has since gone on to huge international acclaim and was filmed in 2008 with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Don’t miss this powerful, extraordinary drama.
Doubt: A Parable is playing at the Ustinov Studio at the Theatre Royal Bath from 7 February to Saturday 8 March 2025. There’s no current news about a West End transfer for Doubt, but check back for details or sign-up for alerts.
A Catholic school in the Bronx, 1964. Sister Aloysius, the strong-minded principal has her suspicions that one of her teaching fathers is abusing a vulnerable pupil. Without proof, she is forced to take matters into her own hands. As the elements of her investigation come invigoratingly together like clockwork, the gripping story poses fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty.
