Event Description:
Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents a "Breakthrough Workshop" of
Proof
Written by David Auburn | Directed by Ira Bauer-Spector*
*****WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA & TONY AWARD FOR BEST PLAY*****
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?
Last year, BWT produced "The Diary of Anne Frank" which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1956. "Proof" won the same honor in 2001 and as we continue to highlight these brilliantly written and acclaimed plays, we continue to find "breakthroughs" on every page.
