The Roundabout Theatre Company revival of John Patrick Shanley's Doubt officially opened March 7, and the reviews are rolling in. Previews began February 3 at the Todd Haimes Theatre, where the extended limited engagement will continue through April 21.
Set in an all-boys Catholic school in the Bronx, the drama ensues when the strict Sister Aloysius (played by Amy Ryan) begins to suspect an inappropriate relationship between Father Flynn (Liev Schreiber) and a student. The cast also featues Zoe Kazan as the young nun who first notices the relationship and Quincy Tyler Bernstine as the boy's mother.
