'Doubt' is fearless, bracing theater
Pasadena, California --
The most intriguing dramatic arguments are those that admit they have no easy solutions and don't pretend to offer any. I give you "Doubt," the aptly titled, quite relevant play by John Patrick Shanley that confronts the topic of sex abuse within the Catholic Church.
The play is set in 1964 in a world still reeling from the assassination of President Kennedy. But the arguments - and questions - over the proper conduct of priests are timely to say the least.
"Doubt" is having its West Coast premiere just as a heralded Manhattan Theatre Club production is transferring to Broadway. So score one, yet again, for artistic director Sheldon Epps and the Pasadena Playhouse for getting a hot new play to L.A. audiences with such astonishing quickness.
