| David Auburn’s acclaimed play Proof is the winner
of both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and a Tony
Award for Best Play. Philadelphia’s Walnut Street
Theatre, founded in 1809, is the oldest continuously
operating theatre in the United States.
These two remarkable pedigrees surely combine
to produce a performance you won’t want to miss.
The play tells of Catherine, a young woman who
has sacrificed college to take care of her brilliant,
yet mentally ill, math professor father. One of the
professor’s former students comes to visit (in
search of more proof of his genius) and falls in
love with his remote and introspective daughter
Catherine. This graceful, clever and often funny
play is a delightful romance, a drama of finelysplintered
family dynamics and a mystery
about the true nature of genius.
A film of the play was made starring Anthony
Hopkins and Gwyneth Paltrow.
by arrangement with Baylin Artists Management.
