Cultural Event: Proof

The play "Proof" revolves around a girl and how she is coping with the death of her father. The girl spent that last couple of years caring for her father who was a well known genius of the Math world. At the end of his life he seemed to slip away into a state of insanity. The girl fears that the same fate awaits her for she has inherited her father's genius. The play seems to reference the beauty of mathematics and how it all around us and how there are still mysteries in mathematics waiting to be explored. Though the play also seems to look at the fine line that exists between genius and insanity and how maybe to achieve great things you have to be a little bit insane. One sometimes needs to think outside the box in order to see things as they really are.
