Proof
by David
Auburn
Directed by Jyl Hewston
This compassionate and compelling play won both
the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony award for best play in 2001. Catherine
has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father,
a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she faces 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?
In
addition to the Pulitzer and Tony, Proof also won a myriad
of awards like the Drama Critics Circle, Drama Desk, Outer Critics
Circle, Drama League, and the Lucille Lortel Awards. Don't miss
