Proof is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that revolves around Catherine, a young woman who cares for her brilliant and mentally unstable father, Robert.  After his death, a groundbreaking mathematical proof is discovered in his notebooks, leading to questions about its authorship and authenticity.  Catherine must grapple with her own mathematical talent and the weight of her father’s legacy while dealing with the doubts and expectations of those around her. The play dives into themes of genius, family dynamics, mental illness, and the line between brilliance and madness.
