Product Description:
"A superb new drama written by John Patrick Shanley. It is an inspired study in moral uncertainty with the compellingly certain structure of an old-fashioned detective drama. Even as Doubt holds your conscious attention as an intelligently measured debate play, it sends off stealth charges that go deeper emotionally. One of the year's ten best."-Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"[The] #1 show of the year. How splendid it feels to be trusted with such passionate, exquisite ambiguity unlike anything we have seen from this prolific playwright so far. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely. Doubt is a lean, potent drama . . . passionate, exquisite, important, and engrossing."-Linda Winer, Newsday
Chosen as the best play of the year by over 10 newspapers and magazines, Doubt is set in a Bronx Catholic school in 1964, where a strong-minded woman wrestles with conscience and uncertainty as she is faced with concerns about one of her male colleagues. This new play by John Patrick Shanley-the Bronx-born-and-bred playwright and Academy Award-winning author of Moonstruck-dramatizes issues straight from today's headlines within a world re-created with knowing detail and a judicious eye. After a stunning, sold-out production at Manhattan Theatre Club, the play has transferred to Broadway.
John Patrick Shanley is the author of numerous plays, including Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, Dirty Story, Four Dogs and a Bone, Psychopathia Sexualis, Sailor's Song, Savage in Limbo, and Where's My Money?. He has written extensively for TV and film, and his credits include the teleplay for Live from Baghdad and screenplays for Congo, Alive, Five Corners, Joe Versus the Volcano (which he also directed), and Moonstruck, for which he won an Academy Award for original screenplay.

I have ordered several items from Amazon recently and your request for review does not state which one you are referring to. I assume that it is for "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden.
We recently returned from a trip to Japan, where we heard about the lives of modern geishas and actually met one too. I was fascinated by the book and could not put it down. The cultural differences among our Countries are incredible. Imagine men bidding for the virginity of a young geisha. But ... Read More

This is an amazing play. It is very well-written, and the character-driven plot is difficult to tear yourself away from. Even though at times it is somewhat ambiguous, I thoroughly enjoyed this play and would gladly recommend it. I can't wait for the film to come out - Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Meryl Streep are perfectly cast in my opinion.

I saw "Doubt" this weekend down in the Twin Cities. While you are more likely to see a national touring company of a Tony Award winning musical, such as "The Light in the Piazza" (which we will see in a couple of weeks), Tony Award winning dramas do make it out to the hinterlands from time to time. What was rare was that the cast was headed by Cherry Jones, who won her second Tony Award for originating the role of Sister Aloysius on Broadway. Usually you have to go to New York City to see the stars ... Read More

I knew the basic idea behind this show when I ordered it but I didn't expect anything this powerful. When I finished it I just sat it down and said "Wow". Without a doubt this is one of the most powerful plays I have ever read. The Father's monologue on gossip just blew me away. This show is written for an African American woman to play one of the parts. I think you can tweak the show so you can play it with a non-African American in the role but I never like the idea of messing with a play like that. ... Read More

Doubt is a superb piece of theater. Shanley is one of America's top playwrights and screen writers; and he does his best work since "Moonstruck." The play is, in my opinion, NOT a parable. The ending is questionable and the message is murky.
Don't let that discourage you. The play and the book will give you more for your money than you will find anywhere else this season.
The philosophy you'll find in the book and playbill. The drama you'll find at the play.
