Proof

Genius, family secrets, and the question of who deserves to be believed.

Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award, David Auburn’s Proof is a compelling drama about extraordinary talent, family legacy, and the fragile line between brilliance and doubt.

After the death of her father, a celebrated mathematics professor, his brilliant yet troubled daughter finds herself facing an uncertain future. When a notebook containing a groundbreaking mathematical proof comes to light, questions quickly emerge about who actually wrote it. As those around her debate the proof’s origins, she must confront difficult questions about her father’s legacy, her own abilities, and whether others will ever trust her word.

Intimate, emotionally layered, and full of intellectual intrigue, Proof explores the burden of living in the shadow of genius and the challenge of establishing your own identity when so much is left uncertain.
