"Passionate, exquisite, important and engrossing” Newsday

Stage and screen icons Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Pamela Rabe (Wentworth) go head-to-head in one of the most iconic 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 (Worthington) 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 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.
