The Academy Award nominated movie Doubt A Parable, based on the Pulitzer Prize winning play by John Patrick Shanley.
On screen, the movie adaptation received rave reviews, starring Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Now in the intimacy of a small venue, the story comes to life on the stage of Guelph Little Theatre starting Jan. 25.
“It has been a pleasure working with so many talented people in this production,” said producer Greg Insley.
“The skill and experience they bring to their individual disciplines lifts this production to the highest of heights and is definitely a show I hope everyone gets a chance to see.”
Directed by L.R. Lindsay, the powerful drama begins with Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal who takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the parish priest, Father Flynn, of improper relations with one of the male students.
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play, this provocative play brings all the elements invigoratingly together like clockwork.
This gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior is less about scandal than it is about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty.
Guelph Little Theatre has entered this production in the annual Western Ontario Drama League Festival as an “Out of Festival” entry.
Guelph will be hosting the annual festival in March.
Doubt A Parable will be on stage for three weekends starting Jan. 25 through Feb. 9 with two Sunday matinees.
Tickets are $19 per person. To purchase tickets visit the Guelph Little Theatre’s box office at 176 Morris Street, or phone 519-821-0270 or online at www.guelphlittletheatre.com.
