The Lifespan of a Fact
Truth or fiction — an easy dichotomy with a clear difference, right? Wrong, at least in the book-turned-play The Lifespan of a Fact. Based on real-life email correspondence between essayist John D’Angelo, the author of a piece on the suicide of a Vegas teenager, and Believer magazine-employed fact-checker Jim Fingal, the play explores the friction between reality and its portrayal. How do we reconcile the story as it happened and the story we want to tell? Does accuracy depend on the facts of a situation or the tone in which it is written about? Further, is there such a thing as “accuracy” after all? See Majestic Repertory’s show to find out.
