Proof is one of the major plays to have hit Broadway in recent years. Winner of numerous awards including three Tony's. David Auburn's play distils complex issues and emotions with the crystalline clarity of a perfect mathematical equation. Catherine has spent years caring for her unstable but brilliant father. In his twenties he made inspirational mathematical discoveries and his legacy is a series of hand-written notebooks. These attract the attention of one of his former students, who, in turn, attracts the attention of Catherine. The heart of the play is her struggle to determine how much of her father s genius or madness she will inherit, and whom, if anyone, she can trust with the answer.| Author | David Auburn |
