Set in 1964, Doubt centers on a nun who confronts a priest after suspecting him abusing a black student. He denies the charges, and much of the play's quick-fire dialogue tackles themes of religion, morality and authority.
The black student never appears in the play, which features just four characters. But Shanley, who has finished a draft of the screenplay, plans to cast actors in that role as well as those of other students.
