Winner of a Tony Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, David Auburn’s play ‘Proof’ is a moving exploration of the nature of genius, women in mathematics, and father-daughter relationships.
Glenamaddy Players, who celebrated their 50th anniversary last year, will present ‘Proof’ at the Town Hall Theatre, Glenamaddy on Friday, February 24th, and Saturday, February 25th, at 8 pm nightly.
Glenamaddy Players have had huge success over the years. They have qualified for the All-Ireland Three-Act Confined finals on several occasions, most recently in 2022 with ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ by Martin McDonagh, which finished in second place.
As for ‘Proof’, the story centres on an enigmatic woman called Catherine (played by Anna Flaherty), her brilliant father (John Donlon), an unanticipated suitor (Cian Boyle), and Catherine’s strong-willed sister Claire (Niamh O’Flanagan). After the discovery of groundbreaking proof, Catherine is confronted with the question of how much of her mathematician father’s brilliance did she inherit – and is that the only thing he passed on to her?
This award-winning play is clever and fast-paced, creating moments of wit and pain with equal impact.
The great cast are served by a very committed crew, who are once again determined to present the standard of professionalism the audience has come to expect over many years of drama tradition in Glenamaddy.
The production is directed by Coman Keaveny and will be performed at the Town Hall Theatre, Glenamaddy on Friday, February 24th, and Saturday, February 25th, at 8 pm nightly before touring on the festival circuit in early March. To book your place to see the performance, contact 086-2045896.
