Proof

By David Auburn

Event Flyer

Directed by Amy Lawler

Proof is an intriguing story about family, truth, gender, and mental health, set in the context of academic mathematics. The story involves an enigmatic young woman Catherine, her manipulative sister, their brilliant father, and an unexpected suitor. They are all pieces of the puzzle in the search for the truth behind a mysterious mathematical proof. The play premiered on Broadway in October 2000 where it earned the Drama Desk Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Tony Award for Best Play. David Auburn’s Proof is a passionate, intelligent story about fathers and daughters, the nature of genius, and the power of love.

 Congratulations on his brilliant production is outstanding. I have seen a lot of professional theatre , including in London and New York as well as here and I have not seen anything of a higher standard than this production. A great New York Pulitizer prize winning play expertly directed with compelling performances and a great set, Freya Moore as Catherine is especially impressive.

   Another great night out. Funny and poignant: natural and moving performances from two new young team members in particular. We thought all characters were so well cast and played. As usual, I'm captivated by what can be achieved on such a small stage. I loved the set, the depth and details and extra dimensions it added. Keep up the good work, Chester Street!

   We loved the play because it highlights the unfairness and wrong of any kind of discrimination. Great choice. We loved the professionalism of the actors. The set was great, we cannot say anything negative about anything.

How did you like the event?

   better than the movie - great acting carrying a changing gamut of interactive relationships - especially good nuanced flashbacks to younger times, well-designed scenery with clear entry/exit and activity areas (the use of the lines of the wooden clapboard walls created a visual depth to the stage), lighting and sound were good,, though I did find the frog croaks to be Australian rather than American. All well done.Thanks.

   Loved it. What a clever and intriguing play Proof is, and a fabulously professional and super-competent cast, with staggering amounts of perfectly memorised and delivered dialogue for the leading lady.

How did you like the event?

   I really enjoyed this play. However, I took my 14 year old granddaughter with me and she remarked on the amount of swearing in the show. It interfered with the impact of the play for us. This is why l only gave it 3 stars. Acting was great, the subject matter challenging and we'll unpacked. No my mind the swearing was unnecessary. The impact could have been achieved without it.

How did you like the event?

   Competent production - well staged. Good lighting and set. For most part acting was very good. However it was often hard to hear the softly delivered lines of the main character of Catherine (from the middle of the theatre where we sat.). And her big sister shouldn't open the back door wide as it shows the incomplete set for the interior room

   Perhaps the scene changes could have been better managed. Music? At times I wasn't sure if that particular scene had ended until I saw the characters return. Commendation to actors - all excellent but especially admired Hal - such a natural.

How did you like the event?

 This production of Proof was very high quality. The material is dense and nuanced, but Director Amy Lawler and her talented team of actors dealt with the issues with great sensitivity, bringing out the themes and character developments beautifully. The performance was moving, thought-provoking and entertaining.

How did you like the event?

 A wonderful performance by all cast members, especially the leading lady. I has been a delight to watch her grow and mature as an actor in such a short period of time. The play was delivered wonderfully and with great empathy to all who were involved in this true to life story. The beside the scenes participants are all to be commended for their efforts in all facets. i.e. Lighting, sound, props, stage set as well as those involved in directing or assisting in any way at all.

How did you like the event?

  A slower paced play with well played twists. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Perhaps I would have preferred the delivery to be a bit less hurried as the dialogue was difficult to understand. Freya gave a stand out performance. Loved her sister as well. If I were the director, I would have slowed down dad's delivery and added nuance to it.
