The Shadow of a Doubt - Shaw Festival Theatre

A newly rediscovered mystery drama by Edith Wharton, author of classic novels such as The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth. A new wife is suspected of having a secret, the mere suspicion of which is enough to poison several lives. Can we ever live with not knowing? Or will the truth have to come out before there is any chance of a new start?

Recommended for Grade 9+ | Age 14+
