Jim Fingal (Thomas Neumann) is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York Magazine. John D’Agata (Jamie Ewing) 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 by his editor (Lori Rohr), the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth. The Lifespan of a Fact will comically but profoundly confront the audience to consider where objectivity and subjectivity split-or bleed together.
Elsinore makes their Chicago debut in this timely comedy directed by Aaron Reese Boseman.
