Leamington's Loft Theatre has announced its next production.

John Patrick Shanley's acclaimed drama premiered on Broadway in 2005, winning the Pulitzer Prize and multiple Tony Awards, including Best Play.

Set in a 1960s Bronx convent school, the story follows a modernising priest whose conduct is called into question by the school's formidable principal.

As their actions and motivations come under intense scrutiny and suspicion escalates, the pair are drawn into a gripping battle of wills with potentially irrevocable consequences.

"Challenging and provocative, this much‑garlanded playwright's work remains impeccably written and compellingly topical. Unmissable."

Doubt: A Parable runs from Wednesday 25 February to Saturday 7 March 2026 (image via Richard Smith Photography)

Director Chris Gilbey-Smith said: "I'm thrilled to bring this powerful and thought-provoking production of Doubt: A Parable to you…

"… The brilliance of the play lies in the uncertainty - whether the accusation is true or not remains ambiguous, forcing us to confront how we deal with suspicion when the truth is out of reach."
