The Lifespan of a Fact
Written by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell

In this sharp media satire that explores the boundaries between fact and fiction, fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker Jim Fingal faces off against esteemed writer John D’Agata, whose new essay might be able to revitalize their fading magazine... if only he could prove its veracity. Taut, gripping and concerned with exactly how much we can stretch the truth in pursuit of a good story, The Lifespan of a Fact shines with wit and wisdom. Under the watchful eye of their editor, Emily Penrose, Fingal and D‘Agata come head-to-head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth.
