Proof

Proof, by David Auburn, is the 2001 Pulitzer Prize winning play that combines the elements of mystery and storytelling into an unforgettable drama. Catherine, a troubled young woman, 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 and the attentions of a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. A burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine in to the most difficult problem of all. Has she inherited her father’s genius – or his madness? Linda Ballew directs.
