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. Winner of the 2001 Tony award for Best Play and the 200l Pulitzer Prize for drama.
L.A. Theatre Works brings this Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning production to life in a moody, sparkling audio theater version. A sterling cast interprets this brainy drama with passion and commitment. While the story is strong in itself, the players, in this crisp, natural-sounding recording, commit to each moment. It's hard not to empathize with the mildly demented daughter of a mildly demented mathematician genius father as she encounters family strife, the possibility of love, and her own genius in the period following her father's death. The emotional stakes are high and are played to the hilt. The proof is in the listening. D.J.B. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
