Have any of you read or seen "Proof"? A production came through Detroit a couple years ago, to the Fisher Theatre, but we never made it in to see it. (The only production we caught at the Fisher was "Copenhagen".)
I was reminded of it by this Drezner post:
This month's general interest book is in response to the question I get asked on occasion-- "So what's the University of Chicago really like?" The work that I've seen best capture the spirit of the place is actually a play -- Proof, by David Auburn. The drama won a Pulitzer and some Tonys, and has been made into a movie that will be released this month (click here to see the trailer).
The movie's director, John Madden, was smart enough to shoot the film on location on campus and in Hyde Park, and even in the trailer you get a strong sense of place.
Take a look at the post for his other reading selection.
