Following an extremely successful run at Birmingham Old Rep, Birmingham Stage Company's production of Proof transfers to the Arts Theatre for a strictly limited four week run from 19 February.

David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play weighs truth against love in a gripping story about a young woman facing the greatest struggle of her life.

Proof is the story of Catherine's father, a maths genius who in the last ten years of his life suffered a mental collapse. When one of his ex-students, Hal, starts searching through his papers, he discovers a proof of a ground-breaking theory. But the discovery has a profound effect on Catherine, Hal and her family, as the startling truth beings to emerge.

Auburn's story is brought to life with wit and poignancy, in which love, truth and trust are tested to their limits.

The production features the professional debut of Sally Oliver in the lead role of Catherine, and Neal Foster will play Hal. Neal's credits include Dr Ratner in The Dice House at The Arts, Collision and The Return at The Old Red Lion.
