What do we value: truth, or certainty? In uncertain times, are we willing to wait for truth or will we settle for "alternative facts"?
The Show
Shanley's Pulitzer-prize winning drama takes place in a Catholic school in the Bronx in 1964. A charismatic priest, Father Flynn, is trying to upend the school's strict customs, which have long been fiercely guarded by Sister Aloysius Beauvier, the iron-gloved Principal who believes in the power of fear-based discipline. When Sister James, a hopeful innocent, shares with Sister Aloysius a guilt-inducing suspicion about Father Flynn, Sister Aloysius sets off on a personal crusade to unearth the truth. Now, without a shard of proof besides her moral certainty, Sister Aloysius locks into a battle of wills with Father Flynn which threatens to tear apart the community with irrevocable consequences.
