Broadway hit, The Lifespan of a Fact, produced by Lend Me a Theater, will be presented at the Hatbox Theatre in Concord for through March 6.
The Lifespan of a Fact is a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth. Jim Fingal is 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. Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, but when detail discrepancies emerge, the two come head-to-head.
The production brings together three actors who have appeared repeatedly at the Hatbox and all around New Hampshire. Christopher Savage (Richard III,Arcadia), Amy Agostino (Copenhagen, Background Check), and Tim Mitchell (Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, Love/Sick) bring a powerful energy to the stage that ranges from heated arguments to droll comedy. The production company, Lend Me a Theater, has been presenting shows at the Hatbox since its inaugural production.
