Award-winning play, ‘Doubt, A Parable,’ comes to historic Cumston Hall in Monmouth

The Monmouth Community Player’s production of John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt, a Parable,” begins Friday at the historic Cumston Hall, 759 Main St. in Monmouth.

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best New Play, “Doubt” is a powerful drama that explores suspicion and moral uncertainty. In 1964, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx Catholic school principal, suspects that the younger Father Flynn is interested in one of the students and takes matters into her own hands. Will the truth be revealed, and in the end, who will be left with doubt?
