David Auburn’s Proof explores the fine line between genius and mental health. First performed in 2000, it quickly transferred to Broadway and then the West End, winning both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play. It was later adapted into a film starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Burgess Hill Theatre Club is excited to be performing this multi award-winning play. Proof tells the story of Catherine, the daughter of a brilliant but unstable mathematical genius, who must fight to prove the authorship of a landmark proof that is discovered amongst her father's papers. It’s an intriguing story about family, truth, gender and mental health, and is a must for anyone who loves maths!
