David Auburn’s Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play Proof comes to the Menier Chocolate Factory directed by Polly Findlay (Antigone, A Taste Of Honey), and starring Emma Cunniffe, Mariah Gale, Matthew Marsh and Jamie Parker.
Catherine has cared for her father Robert, a renowned mathematician, through his mental illness for the past five years. His ex-student, Hal, discovers a ground-breaking proof in Robert’s office but the question is posed: who is the real author of this brilliant work? Catherine struggles to solve this, and the most perplexing problem of all: how much of her father’s madness – or genius – has she inherited?
