Proof
Proof is a play by David Auburn that tells the story of Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant but mentally unstable father, Robert. After his death, Catherine struggles with her own mental health and the pressure of living up to her father's legacy as a mathematician.
When a groundbreaking mathematical proof is discovered among Robert's papers, Catherine must prove that she is the true author and not just a caretaker of her father's work.
The play explores themes of genius, family dynamics, and the fine line between madness and brilliance.
