From the show’s marketing

Step into a world where the line between brilliance and madness blurs, and the most profound truths are hidden in plain sight.

The Mystery. The Madness. The Math. Dive into David Auburn’s Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning PROOF, a thrilling intellectual puzzle where a revolutionary mathematical proof has been discovered, but its authorship is shrouded in doubt. Was it the final, breathtaking work of a genius father, or the quiet triumph of his brilliant, yet troubled, daughter?

Beyond the numbers, witness an unflinching family drama, experiencing the intense bond and bitter conflict between two sisters grappling with grief and the daunting shadow of their father’s genius and mental illness. Prepare for sharp, witty dialogue that reveals profound truths and leaves you deeply invested in complex, flawed characters who will stay with you long after the curtain falls.

This isn’t just a play; it’s an edge-of-your-seat experience that will keep you guessing until the final, powerful moments, proving that you don’t need a math degree to be completely drawn into its gripping suspense.
