Manhattan Theater Club - 131 W 55th st (6/7th ave)

A sequel to Doubt and presumably part 2 of a trilogy. The set design reflects continuity with Doubt, so does the presence of take-no-prisoners religious zeal in the person of an evangelical chaplain. As in doubt, the center is an institution - this time the US Marine Corps (or the military in general) instead of the Catholic church. As opposed to the church, where faith is essential, non is required in the military. Two highly decorated and successful officers - neither of which believes in what they do. Both their unconditional allegiance is to the corps and they have more than proven their willingness to sacrifice their live without even asking what for. Its a good place for people who don't want to make any decisions or take change - there are rules for anything and you just do as you are told. As doubt may be the most corrosive force for an institution based on faith, defiance may be the same for an institution based on obedience.
