When in Doubt
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Playwright, screenwriter, and director John Patrick Shanley discusses some of his recent projects on Broadway. His current play, Doubt, explores what happens when a priest is suspected of molesting a student in a Catholic school in 1964. And actress Cherry Jones, who stars as a conflicted nun and teacher in Shanley’s Doubt, gives us her perspective on the play. Then, we hear from novelist Alan Hollinghurst, whose latest book The Line of Beauty, won the 2004 Booker Prize. Veteran producer Jerry Weintraub looks back at his work, from "Ocean’s 12," to "Nashville" and "Diner." Finally, in this week’s Please Explain feature we take an in-depth look at Hanukkah with Rabbi Joy Levitt and Professor Alan F. Segal.
