April 26, 2016 // Explore Alexandria
This Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning drama is an elegant and engaging story of obsession, intellect, the struggles of mental illness and family bonding. This is a brilliant show that has gotten tremendous feedback from audiences. It will make you think, make you laugh, and make you feel! After the first weekend of showings, audiences are calling it “”brilliant,” “compelling,” “touching,” “wonderfully acted and staged,” “thought-provoking,” “relevant” and “awesome.”
Twenty-five year old Catherine must establish the authorship of a mathematical proof found in the office of her brilliant but troubled father, Robert. Following his death, she must confront her volatile emotions along with the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and a burgeoning romance with Hal, her father’s former student. When all these forces come to a head, Catherine begins to question whether she’s inherited her father’s talent or his madness.
“{PROOF} is a story about the complexities of relationships,” said director Claudia Bursch. “It is about family dynamics: love, trust, misunderstandings around depression and mental illness and how people deal with this heartache, each in their own way.
