We\u2019re looking to the stage for this week\u2019s episode! After being awarded the Pultizer Prize for Drama, a Tony success, and two years on Broadway, Oscar obsessives looked to the big screen adaptation of\u00a0Proof\u00a0<\/i>to continue its slew of trophies. With Gwyneth Paltrow reprising her role from the London stage (along with that production\u2019s director and\u00a0Shakespeare in Love<\/i>\u00a0helmer, John Madden), this intimate drama on math and madness felt like the surest of bets on paper. But\u00a0Proof<\/i>\u2019s release was delayed by a year as Miramax began to fizzle, arriving on screen as an afterthought even in a Best Actress year with fewer contenders.<\/p>\n
This week, we look back at recent adaptations of Pulitzer Prize winning plays and what has gotten lost from stage to screen. We also look at how\u00a0Proof\u00a0<\/i>has aged over years of being over-produced, Hope Davis\u2019s era of an expected eventual nomination, and Mary Louise Parker\u2019s Tony win.<\/p>\n
Topics also include Anne Heche at stage doors, the\u00a0God of Carnage<\/i>\u00a0puke scene, and next week\u2019s 100th episode!!<\/p>\n
