‘I’ve Never Told Anybody That Story’


Playwright John Patrick Shanley shares a buried memory for the first time on Doubt’s 20th anniversary.

The show riveted audiences both for its performances by Cherry Jones, Brían F. O’Byrne, Heather Goldenhersh, and Adriane Lenox and for Shanley’s refusal to definitively answer the question of whether Father Flynn had abused that child. A revival of Doubt begins previews February 2 at the American Airlines Theatre, with Tyne Daly as Sister Aloysius and Liev Schreiber as Father Flynn. In the preface to the play, you talk about the experience of doubt as a profound moment of crisis, but also a gift, a chance at liberation from old and inadequate ways of thinking or acting.
