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's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long 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 madness—or genius—will she inherit?
This show contains strong language.

For me, PROOF is one of the most masterful of contemporary plays.
This is a terrific four-hander, one set, roles just about equally weighted.
For five years bright young Catherine has been taking care of her mentally ill famous father Robert, one of the world's top mathematicians, . The day after his death her sister Claire arrives from New York for the funeral. She finds Catherine emotionally fragile, the place in chaos and one of their father's students, Hal, now teaching, on hand seeking to discover further brilliance in the hundreds of math notebooks Robert left behind after his death.
