PROOF
By David Auburn
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize, Proof explores the unknowability of love as much as it does the mysteries of mathematics. On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert, must deal not only with his death but the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, and with the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert has left behind. As Catherine confronts Hal’s affections and Claire’s plans for her life, she struggles to solve the most perplexing problem of all: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will she inherit?
“Auburn has taken on some biggies here: what the link may be between genius and mental instability, why it is that lives get stuck, and how elusive the truth can be …(Proof’s) level of accomplishment and realness of the characters show that Auburn has both depth and a voice.” – The New Yorker
“Proof” is … a play about scientists whose science matters less than their humanity … All four (characters) – whether loving, hating, encouraging or impeding one another – are intensely alive, complex, funny, human.” – John Simon, New York
All roles are open. Characters are as follows: Catherine: 23-28 Hal: 26-30 Claire: 29- 34 Robert: 50-65

Comments: | Hand to Mouth Players continues to successfully bring new works to the forefront in staging their Annual Playwright/ Directors Workshop for the nineteenth year. Seeing their writing come to life on the stage can be an eye-opener for the playwright and a learning experience as they work together with the directors and witness the audience reaction.
