A well-crafted and performed evening

"Proof is a lasting play because of its thoughtful and intentional writing revealing the complexity of father/daughter relationships, nature vs. nurture, and what we do with that which we're born. Everything on stage was impeccable. The Booth Theatre was terribly cold and drafty out in the audience though. Bring an extra coat or layer."
