I SAW THIS PLAY ON OPENING NIGHT...........DID YOU SEE IT? NOT REALLY SURE HOW YOU DETERMINED THAT THE PLAY IS A DIRECT CORRELATION WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF THE 90'S.....? SHANLEY HAS CLEARLY STATED IN ALL OF THE INFORMATION WRITTEN ON THIS PLAY THAT THE SETTING IS JUST A "SETTING"..........IT'S NOT EVEN ALTOGETHER ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. THAT'S WHY ITS CALLED "DOUBT, A PARABLE". ALSO, THE PLAY IS SET IN THE BROX...............I THINK IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR, AT LEAST TO THE PEOPLE THAT I SAW THE SHOW WITH, THAT THE PRIEST HAD A NORTH EAST ACCENT. NOT IRISH. MAYBE YOU GOT CONFUSED WHEN HE INSERTED THE "IRISH" ACCENT TO ILLUSTRATE A STORY IN ONE OF THE SERMONS. AS FAR AS THE LEAD ACTRESS.....WELL, IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU DID'NT GET IT. IT'S ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE WHEN A CRITIC HAS THE POWER TO EDUCATE POTENTIAL PATRONS..............PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY PROVIDE MISIMFORMATION. LOT OF INACCURACIES IN THIS REVIEW.
