URI Theatre Presents PROOF by David Auburn

Proof is a Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning play about Catherine, the daughter of a recently deceased, brilliant but mentally ill mathematician, Robert. After his death, she must navigate her grief, her estranged sister Claire’s plans for her, and the romantic interest of Hal, a former student of her father’s, all while a potentially groundbreaking mathematical proof is discovered among her father’s papers, forcing her to confront her own potential for both genius and instability. The play explores themes of love, loss, legacy, and the elusive nature of truth, blending science with human emotion.
