The 2005 Tony and Pulitzer-prize winning play by the American author John Patrick Shanley, is set in a Catholic school in Bronx, New York in 1964 and thematically follows a radical turmoil of the American society, both in terms of racial segregation and modernization closely followed by the change and innovation in the Catholic Church.
“Observed from the context of today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina society, “Doubt: A Parable” closely dissects the abuse of the position of power, whether secular or sacral, as well as the manipulation within the hierarchy. Recognizing the ambition, politicking, and indoctrination under the guise of spiritual values in daily clericalization of the society in which we live, and a very obvious involvement of the religious communities in the politics of a secular country, is of utmost importance for the progress of the whole society.” – Selma Spahić, directress.
