Book Reviews of Proof: A Play
Book Review: "Banging On An Already Open Door"
Summary: 3 Stars
David Auburn should be congratulated for having achieved the nearly impossible, writing a play every bit as boring and every bit as successful as the soporific "Copenhagen." Since the dramatist's chief idea is by now wholly conventional, indeed "old hat" - women may be undervalued as intelligences in math and science - and his method fashionably pseudo-Pinterish - we can't be sure just where the truth lies - it is no surprise that "Proof" would strike American academic types and the Pulitzer Committee as daring and "cutting-edge." I assume the success of this work with the general public is owing more to the performances of the various lead actresses than to anything memorable or distinguished in the actual playwriting.
