4. Doubt: A Parable
Catch a thought-provoking dramatic play by Pangdemonium this weekend. Set in 1964, Doubt: A Parable revolves around 12-year-old Donald, the first ever Black student at St. Nicholas Church School. Parish priest Father Flynn takes the boy under his wing, but he soon faces accusations of inappropriate behaviour from the imperious school principal Sister Aloysius.
As accusations and confrontations escalate, naive young Sister James is caught in the crossfire, and the scandal takes on a whole new dimension when the boy's mother steps into the fray.
Powerful and shattering, this play will challenge you to reflect on your morals, question your faith, and doubt your long-held beliefs.
