If x = the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, y = the inspired casting and direction choices by Leslie Martinson, and z = a decision by Artistic Director Robert Kelley to revive at this particular time his company’s 2003 production of David Auburn’s Proof, the impressive total is more than the sum of the individual parts for the current TheatreWorks Silicon Valley offering.   For a full review, click to my Talkin' Broadway  review at http://www.talkinbroadway.com/regional/sanjose/sj10.html.
