Philip Dodd talks to American writer John Patrick Shanley about his film Doubt, which stars Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman as a nun and priest battling in a New York Catholic school in the 1960s. The work started life as a Broadway play, and then became an international stage success. Shanley discusses the intense reaction to the play originally generated from audiences and the process of bringing it to the big screen.
