by David Auburn
One of the most acclaimed new plays in recent years, David Auburn's Proof was a hit on Broadway and won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play. When a disputed mathematical proof is found among the abandoned notebooks of a brilliant but unstable professor, his daughter searches for the truth while confronting her family's twin legacies of madness and genius.
Directed by Martin Hendrickson, Proof is a tale about family relationships and responsibilities, about love and guilt and vulnerability and trust and death and loss. It deals with the big issues, but it keeps them on a human scale and maintains a sense of humor in the process.
