‘Proof:’ Stirring Revival Showcases Powerful Work By Ayo Edebiri & Kara Young
8 / 10
Edebiri, who is onstage for most of the show, does wondrous work, shifting from depressed and lethargic to excited and game, as needed. Her Catherine is a fascinating enigma. Is she nuts? Brilliant?

It’s a Tony-worthy turn.
