The 2014 Tred Avon Players season opens with the Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning “Proof” by David Auburn and directed by Ed Langrell. TAP partners with Hugh Gregory Gallagher Theatre to present this story of mathematics and madness. A young woman fears she has inherited her father’s psychosis along with his genius. Unexpected humor and family dynamics provide an entertaining and provoking evening.
“Proof” is the story of a young woman named Catherine. She is the daughter of Robert, a brilliant mathematician, who misplaces both his brilliance and his sanity in his later years. Catherine, a budding mathematician herself, must give up her schooling and her most creatively productive years in order to take care of her father, who has become convinced that alien civilizations are communicating with him directly through the local library’s Dewey decimal system.
Please be advised: There are cases of adult language in this production.
