"The Lifespan of a Fact" - Inspired by the book by John DAgata and Jim Fingal.
Jim Fingal is a recent Harvard grad with a recent job at a prestigious but sinking New York magazine. John DAgata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy - an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check DAgatas essay, the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth in journalism.
"....terrifically funny dialogue once the writer and the fact-checker get into a lively debate on the ethics of factual truth vs. the beauty of literary dishonesty, its time to really sit up and listen. Their deadly serious but oh-so-funny ethical dispute is brilliantly argued the debate at the heart of this play transcends comedy and demands serious attention". Variety.
"...buoyantly literate wholly resonant questions [are] wrestled with in this briskly entertaining play youll find yourself happy to have your preconceptions disturbed and assumptions unsettled". Washington Post.
"[THE LIFESPAN OF A FACT] 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[an] ingenious adaptation of the sui generis book of the same name". The Hollywood Reporter.
