In John Patrick Shanley's powerful drama, which takes place at a Catholic church and school in the Bronx in 1964, a relatively new parish priest, Father Flynn, is accused of "improper relations" with a student. The school's principal, Sister Aloysius quickly takes matters into her own hands to have him removed.
