Sister Margaret McEntee reflects on the play “Doubt,” by John Patrick Shanley, now on Broadway in a revival starring Liev Schreiber, Zoe Kazan, and Amy Ryan. Michael Schulman writes.
Decades later, in 2004, Sister Margaret found out that her former student, John Patrick Shanley, had written a play called “Doubt,” in which a young nun named Sister James, who teaches in the Bronx, is torn between a charismatic priest, Father Flynn, and her rigid supervisor, Sister Aloysius, who suspects the priest of molesting a schoolboy. Sister Margaret attended a performance Off Broadway, and Shanley nervously watched her watch his rendering of her younger self.
” In the sixties, there were more than a thousand Sisters in New York, but their number has dwindled to a hundred and forty, with a median age of eighty-five. Last spring, after two decades in which no new members had joined, the Sisters voted to take a “path of completion,” meaning that they will let the order, which began in 1817, die out with them. “We prayed about it, and then we asked people to vote, and it was unanimous,” Sister Donna said.
