This is a Pulitzer Prize-winning play that centers on Catherine, the daughter of a recently deceased, brilliant but mentally ill mathematician. The story unfolds as Catherine deals with her father's death, her estranged sister Claire, and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's, who discovers a groundbreaking mathematical proof among her father's notebooks. The play explores the relationship between genius and madness, the complexities of family dynamics, and the fear that Catherine may have inherited her father's instability.
