Lifespan of a Fact

by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell

February 18 - March 6

Produced by Lend Me a Theater.

The Lifespan of a Fact is a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth. Jim Fingal is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John D’Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy—an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, but when detail discrepancies emerge, the two come head to head. • “when the writer and the fact-checker get into a lively debate on the ethics of factual truth vs. the beauty of literary dishonesty, it’s time to really sit up and listen…Their deadly serious but oh-so-funny ethical dispute is brilliantly argued…” —Variety. • “…. moves with the ticking-clock urgency the situation demands, yet finds appropriate moments to breathe and let us ruminate on the personal, professional and moral issues at stake” —Hollywood Reporter.
