Auditions for the Pulitzer Prize winning play PROOF (Synopsis below.) We are looking to cast the character of Robert 40 to 50 years old ROBERT: A brilliant man whose mathematical formulas revolutionized the world in his youth. Robert is the father of Claire and Catherine, and the play opens after he has died. Robert is represented onstage in Catherine’s mind and in memory as a warm and humorous man whose illness comes as a great blow to those around him. If you are interested in Auditioning for this role please email zana@stagetek.com or call 9724 6787 Production is May 10th - 17th in Kensington, NSW This is a non paid role. Proof is a family drama that explores the relationship between brilliance and madness. It centres around the character of Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her father, a once-great mathematician now stricken with mental illness. The play opens on the eve of his funeral, as Catherine begins her struggles with issues of responsibility, trust, and the possible inheritance of her father’s brilliance- and madness. Her life is complicated by the arrival of her sceptical sister the attentions of her father’s former student, as well as unexpected visits from her deceased father. Within the context of higher mathematics, David Auburn touches on issues to which all people can relate, and delves into the mysteries of the heart through the presentation of a mystery of the mind.
