The Reviews For Doubt: A Parable Are Here

Author DanielDaniel, April 19th, 2024

Scott Ellis' adaption of John Patrick Shanley’s award-winning play gets positive feedback from the critics!

The reviews are rolling in for the revival of John Patrick Shanley's powerful Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play Doubt: A Parable. Starring Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber as a nun and priest working together at an all-boys Catholic School in the Bronx, Doubt: A Parable is a riveting meditation on uncertainty in the face of prejudice that follows when liberal-minded Father Flynn (Schreiber) is suspected of wrong-doing by his strict conservative colleague, Sister Aloysius (Daly).

Find the reviews below:

The New York Times: "It is a sturdy melodrama, an infallible crowd-pleaser, a detective yarn, a character study, and an inquest into the unknowable"

Deadline: "That the play holds up as well as it does and it really does is due in large part to a top-tier cast that the Roundabout Theater Company has assembled, an ensemble that keeps us guessing from beginning to end"

The Wrap: "[The play] sets up a fascinating power play between two very unequal forces, and it's thrilling to watch Amy Ryan's nun and Liev Schreiber's priest duke it out for 90 minutes on stage. A feisty revival of John Patrick Shanley's play"

Entertainment Weekly: "Directed by Scott Ellis, Doubt makes every single second count, and even though it may be over at a brisk 90 minutes, the story and performances will stay with you for much, much longer"

Wall Street Journal: "The excellent Broadway revival, directed by Scott Ellis for the Roundabout Theatre Company, starring Amy Ryan and Liev Schreiber, presents the play without any intentional new slant on its ideas, but it gives audiences a chance to consider them in an altered context"

Theatermania: "Doubt is still one of the essential dramas of our time, with a story that is more relevant than ever"
