“Proof”

Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for
Best Play

  

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, who has
spent years caring for her brilliant, unstable, and now deceased father, must
decide how to move ahead with her own life.  This, while dealing with her estranged sister, as well as
the attentions of a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work
in the chaos the famous mathematician left behind.  Over the 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 genius, or madness, will she inherit?

  

Roles available:

  

Catherine (25) –
Gifted, funny, difficult.  Likely
the smartest person in the room, if not the most fragile, she has been
increasingly avoiding coming to terms with all but the basics of day-to-day
existence.

  

Robert (50s) – A
scholar, but with a down-to-earth manner that suggests complete ease in his
skin.  Warm, affectionate,
disintegrating.

  

Hal (late 20s) – A
former grad student of Robert’s, he is preparing for the life of an academic or
teacher, neither of which much excite him.  He has been attracted to Catherine from afar for years.

  

Claire (late
20s-early 30s) – A professional businesswoman, with everything that
implies.  Has for years been living
some distance away, geographically and emotionally.  Now wants to reconcile and offer help, regardless of whether
either is welcome.
