DOUBT: A Parable

One of the finest British actresses of her generation, Maxine Peake stars in this brand-new production of John Patrick Shanley’s award-winning drama. DOUBT a parable will be at Theatre Royal Bath’s Ustinov Studio from Friday 7th February – Saturday 8th March 2025.

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.
