The Merc Playhouse presents Proof
Proof is an examination of love, trust, madness and genius presented through the lives of mathematicians.
The play crackles with subtle wit while tackling large questions. After the death of her mathematical genius and mentally-ill father, Catherine, who gave up her own study of mathematics to tend to him, claims that she is the author of a mathematical proof found in the attic among his unpublished, mostly incoherent notebooks. But what "proof" does Catherine have that she, and not her father, is the author? Her older sister, home to attend the funeral, doubts her claim and, in fact, doubts Catherine's own sanity. The play explores Catherine's fear of following in her father's footsteps, both mathematically and mentally and her desperate attempts to stay in control.
