J P Shanley: Doubt
"Doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustaining as certainty....."
What do you do when you're not sure? You suffer and then you howl to God: Help me! But what if no answer comes? Just silence... The story takes us to a church school in Bronx where a local priest tries to loosen strick rules set by an intransigent directoress.
The drama was awarded the 2005 Pulitzer Prize.
