Proof by David Aburn

What happens when there’s the possibility that we may inherit our parents’ talent - and their madness? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, PROOF tells the story of Catherine, a young woman who has sacrificed college to care for her brilliant, yet mentally ill, father. When Catherine’s father dies, an astonishing mathematical ‘proof’ is discovered. Is the proof real? Who is the author? Will Catherine find her way or continue to be haunted by her father’s past? Produced by Philadelphia’s renowned Walnut Street Theatre, PROOF is graceful and clever, often funny, a drama of finely-splintered family dynamics, and a mystery about the true nature of genius.
