Title: To Serve and Protect...
Review: Wow. I read this in about an hour, and a day and a half later I still feel pangs of devestation.This is more than timely, with the extreme exposure of an epidemic of abuse within the Catholic church, by it's priests. But this is about faith too. And it is brilliantly illustrated by Shanley, in the figure of Sister Aloysius, a driven, stoic principal whose commitment to her feelings/belief/intutition/call-it-what-you-want-to propell the story.And then there is doubt itself.Like a long sermon, and as the title expresses, an apt parable, Doubt enlivens this current problem with characters who are wonderfully defined, each setting upon the other in ways not so clear and easy.This is a remarkable play, quick and to the point, significant, interesting, and possesses a substance that renders this a timeless piece...
