Starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. Written and directed by John Patrick Shanley from his Pulitzer Prize–winning play. “The best new play of the season. That rarity of rarities, an issue-driven play that is unpreachy, thought-provoking, and so full of high drama that the audience with which I saw it gasped out loud a half-dozen times at its startling twists and turns. Mr. Shanley deserves the highest possible praise: he doesn’t try to talk you into doing anything but thinking-hard-about the gnarly complexity of human behavior.”—Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal “A breathtaking work of immense proportion. Positively brilliant.”—Melissa Rose Bernardo, Entertainment Weekly “#1 show of the year. How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. In just ninety fast-moving minutes, Shanley creates four blazingly individual people. Doubt is a lean, potent drama . . . passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing.”—Linda Winer, Newsday John Patrick Shanley is the author of numerous plays, including Danny in the Deep Blue Sea, Dirty Story, Four Dogs and a Bone, Psychopathia, Sexualis, Sailor’s Song, Savage in Limbo, and Where’s My Money? He has written extensively for TV and film, and his credits include the teleplay for Live from Baghdad and screenplays for Congo; Alive; Five Corners; Joe Versus the Volcano, which he also directed; and Moonstruck, for which he won an Academy Award for best original screenplay. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Flying FeathersUnconditionally, the character, personality, and mind-set of Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) in John Patrick Shanley's play, "Doubt" is directly mirrored to that of Nurse Ratchet in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. It is a well known common knowledge that it is, not only wrong, but outright dangerous to `assume.' Sister Aloysius `assumes' something wrong and unethical and perhaps even sacrilegious is taking place between Father Brendan Flynn and the first black ... Read More Rating: - Very Intelligent and Thoughtful ReadDoubt has to be one of the most well written and intelligent reads that I have read in quite some time. The story takes place in the Bronx in 1964 at St. Nicholas Catholic Church. At the center of the story is Fr. Flynn whose possible behavior with an altar boy has come into question by the school's principal, Sr. Aloysius. Although the evidence against the priest appears to be circumstancial, Sr. Aloysius, nevertheless, goes on a crusade to have Fr. Flynn removed from his position ... Read More Rating:  - No DoubtAs I started kindergarden in 1964 & Catholic school in 1965 (before they had kindergardens), in an "outer boro" of NYC, I will claim immediate expertise. From the outset, there are a number of background issues which require suspended disbelief: * In 1964, each grade in a typical Catholic grammar school in the "outer boros" of NYC would have been much, much more teeming with children. * The average age of religious sisters would have been much, much younger in a typical parish convent. ... Read More Rating: - Simple yet effectiveA lot had already been written by other reviewers about the script, so I will not repeat what has already been said. I cannot agree more with the rave reviews. Just would like to assert and to reaffirm that fact that the script is well structured, with no redundancy in word, in the theatricality, or in the direction. I have personally not been able to see either the play on stage or the movie on screen, but I must say the drama as written in word succeeded abundantly in producing suspense while maintaining ... Read More Rating: - Geishas RevisitedI have ordered several items from Amazon recently and your request for review does not state which one you are referring to. I assume that it is for "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden. We recently returned from a trip to Japan, where we heard about the lives of modern geishas and actually met one too. I was fascinated by the book and could not put it down. The cultural differences among our Countries are incredible. Imagine men bidding for the virginity of a young geisha. But don't think ...
