If you’re not familiar with the plot of Doubt: A Parable, the Sydney Theatre Company provided this synopsis and preview:

“Making his Sydney Theatre Company debut, screen star Sam Reid (The Newsreader, Interview with the Vampire) faces up to stage and screen icon Pamela Rabe (Wentworth) in one of the most memorable and electrifying plays of the twenty-first century.

“The Bronx, NY, 1964. Sister Aloysius (Rabe), the iron-fisted headmistress of St. Nicholas Church School suspects a progressive priest of inappropriate behaviour with the school’s sole Black student, Donald Muller. The charismatic Father Flynn (Reid) denies the allegations entirely.

“In a brand-new production of John Patrick Shanley’s titanic drama, powerhouse Australian director Marion Potts makes a grand return to Sydney Theatre Company, joining forces with a quartet of the nation’s finest actors, also featuring Zindzi Okenyo (Director of Purpose) and Shannen Alyce Quan (The Dictionary of Lost Words), to wrestle with the gaps between belief and truth.

“Twenty years on from winning the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Doubt has “never been more urgent” (Variety) than it is today.”

Doubt: A Parable runs June 30 – August 2 at the Roslyn Packer Theatre. The Vampire Lestat airs Sundays at 9pm ET/PT on AMC and streams same day on AMC Plus.
