Tickets: £8 / £6 members

Kevin Hanssen and Anne Fischer come to Dorchester UK from Zimbabwe to take the leads in this Pulitzer/Tony Award winning drama. They are joined by local actors Katie Davis and Molly Jackson.

"Funny, shocking, stimulating and ultimately wise"

This brilliant and powerful drama asks the question "What do you do when you're not sure?"

DIrector Mel Hooley, brings a very relevant piece for these troubled times as the conflict between a well-intentioned progressive priest and a conservative nun develops over the priest's relationship with a young boy at a school in the Bronx.

Themes relating to the nature of doubt, the desire for justice and the right of individuals to live with integrity, freedom and safety, are explored in a series of evocatively terse scenes, leading to an explosive climactic confrontation between self-righteousness and compassion.

Unmissable drama.
