PROOF

by David Auburn

directed by Carl Drake

a joint production from Café Theatre and Ellerslie Theatrical Society

“Crazy people don't sit around asking if they're crazy.”

Catherine mourns her father’s passing and the years she gave up as Robert’s caretaker. One of Robert’s graduate students, Hal, searches desperately through his endless reams of notes for something important, while Catherine’s big sister Claire arrives to help her settle their father’s legacy. A mystery presents itself, emotions and tempers are tested, and Catherine is forced to face the question: How much of her father’s madness, or genius, will she inherit? Contains themes of death, depression, mental illness, and adult language.
