The piece was first staged in the country in 2003 starring TV actress [[Sang Mi Chu]] and had its second run in 2005. Unlike the movie, the play focuses on the life of mathematician Robert's imaginary daughter Catherine, which is to be played by Kim. Catherine is a sensitive and complex mathematician who is scared that she might have inherited the insanity from her father. ==Plot== The play revolves around the mathematically talented Catherine, the daughter of a renowned Chicago mathematician who suffers from a mental breakdown and finally dies of a heart attack. Catherine sacrifices a promising career to take care of her father in his later years and is gradually captivated by the fear that she might have inherited her father's mental illness. Meanwhile, Hal, a former Ph.D. student of her father who probes through the posthumous papers of the late professor in search of mathematical achievements, which have not been proved yet, relieves Catherine's depression and develops a relationship with her. Her sister Claire, a successful New York currency analyst, returns to Chicago for her father's funeral. Self-centered Claire asks Catherine to sell her father's house and join her in New York. When Catherine refuses the offer, a pent-up emotional rift resurfaces between the sisters. The conflict escalates when Catherine shows one of her mathematical proofs written in her father's notebook. However, Claire and even Hal ― who Catherine truly trusts ― don't believe her authorship of the newfound theory. Catherine is blessed with intellectual capability but is as emotionally vulnerable as an adolescent and shows the conflict with Hal and Claire through her anger. ==Cast== * [[Ji-ho Kim]] - Catherine * Eun-kyeong Seo * Myeong-ryeol Nam * Kyeong-seon Lee * Won-ju Jeong ==Comments== <wp:comments> wp_post_title=Proof (2008-South Korea) wp_url=http://asianwiki.com/commentsdirectory/ </wp:comments> [[Category:South Korean Plays]] [[Category:2008 South Korean Plays]] [[Category:Plays]] [[Category:2008 Plays]] [[Category:Drama Plays]] Return to Proof.
