"Auburn carefully calibrates the funny with the sad, balances credible realism with fugues of understated poetry. It was once described to me as a perfect play, in the formal sense, a template from which any budding playwright could draw inspiration."
"Edebiri is the stubborn, sardonic Catherine, newly 25 and shuffling around the back yard of her father's Chicago home, not so much spinning her wheels as she is content to be stuck idle in the mud."
"Catherine worries that she has inherited all of her father's illness, but perhaps only a little of his brilliance. Aspirations to follow in his career footsteps were put aside to become his caretaker."
David Auburn's Pulitzer-winning play Proof is known for its elegant structure and balance of humor and sadness. The new Broadway production, directed by Thomas Kail, features Ayo Edebiri as Catherine and Don Cheadle as her father, Robert. Catherine grapples with her father's legacy and her own mental health, reflecting on her role as his caretaker. The play's engaging narrative and character dynamics continue to resonate, demonstrating its lasting appeal and integrity in theater.
