Clague Playhouse, 1371 Clague Road, Westlake, presents David Auburn’s compelling drama Proof as the third production of its 88th season.

            Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play, Proof is the story of Catherine, a troubled young woman who has spent years caring for her brilliant yet mentally unstable father. Upon his death, his two daughters and a gifted protegé struggle to identify the author of a ground-breaking mathematical proof discovered among his papers, raising questions of how much of her father’s genius Catherine may have inherited, and how much of his madness. The intellectual, familial, and amorous tensions among these finely-drawn characters weave a suspenseful story of duty, loyalty, and the pursuit of truth.

            Proof is directed by Anne McEvoy. The cast includes Nicholas Chokan, Robert Hawkes, Rachel Lee Kolis, and Renee Schilling. A video preview of the production is available at https://vimeo.com/151717669.
