Doubt Leaves Questions

This isn't about romance but it is somewhat literary - I went to see the Broadway play Doubt tonight and I am still somewhat overwhelmed by it. It's something I'll think about for some time - it definitely leaves you with a question, not an answer. (In an interview, the cast members said that audience polls usually found 1/3 for him, 1/3 for her and 1/3 undecided.) Brian F. O'Byrne and Cherry Jones were fabulous (although I found the Bronx accents a bit distracting). I'd read quite a bit about it, and it was what I expected - but also not what I expected. If you have the opportunity to see it, you should. You'll be thinking about it after you leave the theatre.
