☆ Review: In ‘Doubt,’ What He Knows, She Knows, God Knows
  + stars: | 2024-03-07 | by ( Jesse Green | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Here are a few things Sister Aloysius cannot abide: ballpoint pens, “Frosty the Snowman,” long fingernails like Father Flynn’s, Father Flynn himself. She is what you’d call a forbidding nun, a Sister of Charity without much of it. Add to Sister Aloysius’s catalog of unholy tendencies his suggestion that they occasionally take the students for ice cream. But John Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt: A Parable,” first seen on Broadway in 2005, is much more than that. It is a sturdy melodrama, an infallible crowd-pleaser, a detective yarn, a character study and an inquest into the unknowable.

☆ John Patrick Shanley Reflects on His Accidental Retrospective
  + stars: | 2024-02-26 | by ( Darryn King | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“I was like 35 years old, and I was in Poughkeepsie,” Shanley said in a phone interview during a rehearsal break last month. “I went in to do my laundry, and after a couple of questions, I realized that they would do it for me, fold it and give it back to me. Opening on Wednesday at New York City Center, it is the 13th play the playwright has premiered with the Manhattan Theater Club. “There’s an incredible flair, intelligence, grace and humor to his work,” said Lynne Meadow, the theater company’s artistic director. Most of all, she added, “he writes with such humanity, and so personally.”

☆ Covid, Crutches, Surgery: For Christopher Abbott the Show Somehow Went On
  + stars: | 2024-01-16 | by ( Michael Paulson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Christopher Abbott was about halfway through a performance of “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea” when he felt something go wrong. The 37-year-old actor had been sitting onstage — his character, a brutish trucker, proposing marriage to a tormented woman played by Aubrey Plaza — and as he went to get up, he couldn’t straighten his leg. That early December injury — he had a bucket handle meniscus tear — was followed in short order by a case of Covid and arthroscopic surgery. And then he returned to the stage, performing for several weeks on crutches, through the end of the show’s 11-week run on Saturday night. The run, staged Off Broadway at the 295-seat Lucille Lortel Theater, was unusually bumpy.

☆ ‘Danny and the Deep Blue Sea’ Review: Aubrey Plaza Steps Into the Ring
  + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Elisabeth Vincentelli | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
These two hopeless loners are the only people in the bar in this Off Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s “Danny and the Deep Blue Sea,” at the Lucille Lortel Theater. Though modest in scale, the show is one of the fall’s hottest thanks to its stars, Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott. Shanley’s writing sometimes devolves into hard-boiled mannerisms, but it also has a sharp pugnaciousness. Similarly, Abbott and Plaza’s performances move beyond histrionics and gain confidence as their characters start letting themselves feel. When Danny and Roberta finally strike up a conversation, it immediately reveals their combustible approaches to life itself.

☆ Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber to Lead Broadway ‘Doubt’ Revival

Tyne Daly and Liev Schreiber will star in a revival of “Doubt: A Parable” on Broadway this season. The play, by John Patrick Shanley, is about a nun who suspects a priest has sexually abused a student at a Catholic school. (All Broadway theaters are planning to dim the lights of their marquees for one minute at 6:45 p.m. tonight in Haimes’s memory.) Daly, who will play the nun who serves as the school principal, and Schreiber, who will play the parish priest, are both Tony winners. “Doubt” will be one of three plays staged by Roundabout on Broadway this season.
