Weekday Players: Proof

Catherine has spent much of her adult life taking care of her brilliant-but mad-mathematician father and with his recent death, she is faced with her own thoughts and emotions. Hal, a former student of her father’s, arrives and attempts to find genius in the mountain of notebooks that her father left behind.

A puzzling notebook is discovered and brings Catherine, along with Hal and her sister Claire, to question how much of her father’s genius or his madness that she inherited.
