Doubt -- "A Parable" by John Patrick Shanley

No doubt here!
I am certain this is a great play! Last night I was able to score half price tickets from TKTS to Doubt at the Walter Kerr Theatre. I doubt if that really means ticket sales are slacking off, 'cuz the house was packed to the rafters last night.
Starring Cherry Jones and Brian F. O'Byrne with Heather Goldenhersh and Adriane Lenox, Doubt runs 90 minutes without an intermission. But the time flies by without a rustle from the audience. I'm not going to do an in-depth review, since I am still trying to figure out all the angles and levels of this show. Something to chew on for a while, as they say. But suffice it to say the writing is incredible and the acting by all parties is outstanding.
I was afraid this show was going to be dour and lethargic, but it was potent, funny and beautifully paced, and you get totally carried away with the emotions of the moments.
If you have a chance to see it, see it.
