Proof

Critically acclaimed Front Foot Theatre presents the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning play, Proof.
Catherine has sacrificed her education and social life to care for her brilliant but unstable father (RSC veteran Tim Hardy) during the worst of his mental degeneration.
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday Catherine must deal not only with the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire, but also with the attentions of Hal (Ian Charleson Award nominee Kim Hardy), a former student of her father’s, who hopes to find lingering insight in the professor’s work.
As Catherine confronts Hal's affections and Claire's plans for her life, she struggles to solve the most perplexing problem of all: How much of her father's madness or genius will she inherit?
David Auburn’s compelling script ricochets between the mysteries of mathematics, the elusiveness of love and the fine line between genius and madness.
Director Sebastien Blanc’s previous plays have received 5 Off West End Award Nominations and one award for Best Supporting Actor.

Critical Feedback on cast and Team:
“Brilliant and compelling performances” – Everything Theatre

“Julia Papp in particular delivers a simultaneously disturbing and moving performance with the explosive lead performance of Kim Hardy all the more poignant, leaving the audience touched, feeling almost awkward to be sharing such moments of vulnerability.” – Urban Times

“Visceral and eye-wateringly honest” - What’s on Stage about The Glasshouse directed by Sebastien Blanc

"Tim Hardy's portrayal of the legendary astronomer is an excellent piece of theatre. As we are gently led through the years by his kindly yet incisive wit, Hardy keeps a thinly veiled intelligence ever brooding beneath the surface of the man…it becomes almost impossible to remember that the audience is watching an actor and not the real man somehow magicked upon the stage.” The British Theatre Guide
