On Stage Tonight: "Proof"

The latest production by Marshall's Theatre Alliance is Proof.

Written by David Auburn, it actually runs two weekends (which is unusual for Marshall) - it starts tonight at 8 p.m. and runs Feb. 15 – 18 and Feb. 23 – 25 at 8 p.m. in the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre.

This play contains adult language.

Here's a recap:

The discovery of a groundbreaking formula sets off a compelling mystery in this Pulitzer prize-winning drama about the razor-thin line between genius and mental illness. Catherine sacrificed her education in order to care for her aging father, a brilliant but unstable mathematician. Gifted and highly emotional, the arrival of an unexpected visitor forces her to confront the troubling question: How much of her father’s madness – or genius – will she inherit?

I'll have more about this show in the days ahead, including comments from director Jack Cirillo, but it's an intense drama and highly recommended!

Here's a trailer Marshall has created to promote the show:
