Play Synopsis: 
David Auburn’s Proof revolves around Catherine, a troubled young woman, who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness-or genius-will she inherit?

“…combines elements of mystery and surprise with old-fashioned storytelling to provide a compelling evening of theatre…it is a smart and compassionate play of ideas.”
