Play Description
On the eve of her twenty-fifth birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman,
has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous
mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile
emotions; the arrival of her estranged sister, Claire; and the attentions
of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work
in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind. Over the long weekend
that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious
notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much
of her father's madness--or genius--will she inherit?
(Dramatists Play
Service)
Winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award
for Best Play.
