David Auburn’s Proof is most certainly about mathematics at its core as it is about people. Of its 2000 premiere, John Simon wrote, “All four (characters)—whether loving, hating, encouraging, or impeding one another—are intensely alive, complex, funny, human.” This cerebral mystery approaches issues such as what the link may be between genius and madness and whether either or both can be inherited. It is a story about human relationships, suggesting that developing trust and love can be as difficult, and just as uncertain, as establishing the truth of a mathematical proof.
