Doyle will direct a cast that includes Alfre Woodard, Reg Rogers, Demosthenes Chrysan and Dina Shihabi.
Zealot, a finalist for the Susan Blackburn Prize, is set "at the British consulate in Mecca, where a tactical tea is interrupted by news of nearby violence," according to press notes. "When a witness seeks asylum, a diplomatic battle of wits ensues, while a life hangs in the balance."
A talkback will follow featuring the playwright, cast and director.
