Synopsis: On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled <br>
young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father <br>
Robert, once a renowned mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal <br>
with the aftermath, including the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, as <br>
well as the attentions of Hal, a former student of Robert's who hopes to find <br>
valuable work in the 103 notebooks that he left behind. Over the long weekend <br>
that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook <br>
draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: how much of her <br>
father's genius -- or madness -- will she inherit? <br>
<br>
Available Roles: <br>
<br>
Catherine (25) - An emotionally volatile woman who for five years has acted <br>
as sole caregiver to an ailing father. Though intellectually dynamic, she has <br>
allowed herself to withdraw, her tart demeanor masking an apprehension <br>
regarding interpersonal relationships and the possibilities of life. <br>
<br>
Robert (50s) - A widowed college professor whose mathematical skills brought <br>
him world prominence. He is stern and precise by nature but also warm and <br>
considerate. <br>
<br>
Hal (28) - A former graduate student of Robert's, he is interested in both <br>
investigating the work his professor left behind and pursuing his affections <br>
for Catherine. <br>
<br>
Claire (29) - Stylish and attractive, she is a bright and successful <br>
businesswoman who nevertheless has long held an adversarial relationship with her <br>
sister Catherine. The geographic absence from her father's immediate world <br>
brings some guilt and a renewed desire to lend help. <br>
<br>
