From Creative License, the company that brought you last year's critical smash A Few Good Men comes the recent Broadway hit The Lifespan of a Fact. Based on the true story of the essayist John D’Agata’s essay "What Happens There," this blisteringly funny and high-stakes debate over the boundary between truth and accuracy is helmed by Creative License co-founder and A Few Good Men director Aaron Holbritter. The production features a dynamic cast of Capital Region talent, including Jacob Bell, Lisa Bryk, and Creative License favorite, Ian LaChance.
About the Play
Jim Fingal (Bell) is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact-checker for a prominent but sinking high-brow magazine. His first assignment: fact-check a groundbreaking essay by legendary writer John D’Agata (LaChance). What begins as a routine job quickly spirals into a comedic and gripping battle as Jim discovers that much of the essay’s "truth" is actually made up. With the deadline looming, the magazine’s demanding editor, Emily Penrose (Bryk), must referee the showdown between a writer who values the poetry of the story and a fact-checker who values the cold, hard data.
Sparkling with wit and humor, "The Lifespan of a Fact" explores a question that is more relevant today than ever: Does the truth matter more than the facts?
