  3. The Lifespan of a Fact


Winner of the Ovation, Drama-Logue and Graland awards, Lifespan of a Fact tells the story of 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. When Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, the two come head-to-head in a hilarious yet gripping battle over facts vs. truth.


Ages: Recommended for adults and older teenage audiences, with parents using discretion for high school students.
