2. Proof

On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father, who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, Catherine is drawn into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father’s madness—or genius—has she inherited? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award® for Best Play. For more information, visit www.McLeanPlayers.org
