The Lifespan of a Fact
By JEREMY KAREKEN & DAVID MURRELL and GORDON FARRELL Directed by CELINE ROSENTHAL
About The Show
“Terrifically engaging & fascinating. It's what you call a good time.”
— The New York Times
How negotiable is a fact? That’s the premise of this critically acclaimed 2018 Broadway hit filled with blistering comedy and contemporary relevance. At a high-end magazine, a demanding editor-in-chief hires a determined millennial fact-checker to work on a groundbreaking essay written by a famous author. Like magazines everywhere, this one is reeling from poor ad sales and shrinking circulation. But with this potentially sensational essay, salvation looms. The deadline is tight, the essay is dense, and everyone must make a good faith effort to tell the story honestly. When the fact checker goes too far, the ultimate showdown between “truth” and “accuracy” begins – with delicious consequences.
