NEW YORK (Reuters):

JOHN PATRICK Shanley added a Tony Award to his Pulitzer Prize on Sunday as his play Doubt about a nun who suspects a Catholic priest of abusing children picked up Broadway's top honour. Doubt won four Tonys, including best play and best director, a tally topped only by The Light in the Piazza, which won six awards, though it missed out on best musical, which went to Monty Python's Spamalot.
