David Auburn Adapts ‘The New York Idea’

NYTimes.com: WHEN you write one of the most produced plays of the decade at the age of 30, you can presumably shift your focus to whatever you want. But for David Auburn, who earned that distinction (on the basis of subsequent professional stagings) with his 2000 play, “Proof,” a chunk of the last 11 years has been spent doing what others have asked him to.

David auburn is an interesting playwrite. reading about his process is informative. his work seems to be routed in an inate desire to delve into the more paradoxical elements of the human morality. It is also worthy of note to examine the fact that the debate over weatehr or not the man in doubt is guilty is often divided down gender lines.
