Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Proof, press notes state, "is an elegant and engaging story of passion, genius, and family bonds. It almost feels like, not exactly a detective story, but there is suspense involved in a way that’s really interesting to me and deeply imbedded in the character relationship.” It’s so sparely, beautifully written and the motor is sort of unusual for a relationship play. I went back and read the play and it leaped off the page at me. We have never produced it at McCarter and I felt that I had a special connection to the play, being a University of Chicago faculty child myself and having had a very close bond with my father. When I thought about plays from the last 15 years that I loved, Proof immediately came to mind. In an earlier statement director Mann said, “I knew I wanted to select a contemporary American play because I thought it would complement the rest of the season. The cast comprises Michael Braun (Hal), Kristen Bush (Catherine), Jessica Dickey (Claire) and Michael Siberry (Robert). Directed by artistic director Emily Mann, the production will officially open Sept.
