This spellbinding Pulitzer Prize-winning play is set in a Catholic grammar school in 1964. Sister Aloysius, the indefatigable school principal, comes to question the moral character of the more progressive spiritual leader, Father Flynn. Once her doubts are set in motion, an explosive cat-and-mouse game ensues. Is she on a witch hunt or is her continued probing justified? "…an inspired study in moral uncertainty with the compellingly certain structure of an old- fashioned detective drama."–The New York Times
