An enigmatic young woman. A manipulative sister. Their brilliant father. An unexpected suitor. One life-altering question. The search for the truth behind a mysterious mathematical proof is the perplexing problem in David Auburn’s dynamic play. Proof won both a Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Includes interviews with neuropsychologist Dr. Carrie Bearden of UCLA about mental illness, and with Steven Strogatz, Professor at Cornell University’s School of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics, about gender bias in the field of math.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in January of 2003.
