Daniel Radcliffe, Cherry Jones and Bobby Cannavale return to Broadway in the world premiere of The Lifespan of a Fact.

Jim Fingal (Daniel Radcliffe) has a small job: to fact check articles for one of the best magazines in the country. Jim Fingal’s boss (Cherry Jones) has given him a big assignment: apply his skill to a groundbreaking piece by legendary author John D’Agata (Bobby Cannavale). And now, Jim Fingal has a huge problem: John made up some of his article. Well, a lot of his article. OK, actually, maybe the majority of it?

What starts professional quickly becomes profane as one question rises to the surface: Can Jim Fingal ever just shut the fact up?

Reviews

the play pingpongs along is the result of a terrific comic staging by Leigh Silverman. With its cast, itsdead-on timing, its perfect set by Mimi Lien and sound design by Palmer Hefferan, it would probably nail its laughs even without the dialogue.

Written by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell, and Gordon Farrell, "The Lifespan of a Fact" is a riveting 90 minutes. Leigh Silverman directs with a sharp eye, encouraging her excellent actors to flesh out the roles with natural humor and nuance.

Directed with a light touch and a sense for gradual crescendo by Leigh Silverman, and constructed with elegance and precision on all fronts by the first all-female design team on Broadway ... The Lifespan of a Fact gives you the satisfying rush of a good mystery or a crossword puzzle
