Proof

Show Run: September 18th - 27th, 2026 Show Description:  Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies she has more than grief to deal with: There’s her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will Catherine inherit? Credits by David Auburn Proof is presented by arrangement with concord Theatricals www.concordtheatricals.com

REVIEWS
“A play about scientists whose science matter less than their humanity... All four [characters] – whether loving, hating, encouraging or impeding one another – are intensely alive, complex, funny human.” – New York

“Captivating and thought-provoking.” – The Mancunion

“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 the realness of its characters show that Auburn has both depth and a voice.” –The New Yorker
