Last night Catherine and I went to Lehigh to watch a performance of Proof. You maybe more aware of this currently do to the film released based on the play. The performance last night was directed by the head of the theater department, whom Catherine works for, so the “we gotta go” factor was there.
I am glad we went as I had a very good time. We ended up in the front row, end seats. The performances were very good and the cast only consisted of 4 actors. The performance of the actor playing Hal was particularly good.
The set design was interesting as the entire play takes place on the back porch of the house. The use of hanging sheets of paper and patterned backlighting added to the space, but still placed faith in the audience to “fill in the blanks”.
Overall, I really enjoyed myself and isn’t that what entertainment is all about.
