The Lifespan of a Fact
Contributed by Audrey Weltman Kelly
RKP Productions and Anchorage Community Theatre present The Lifespan of a Fact, it is based on a true story about an editor trying to save a prominent magazine from financial collapse, a renowned writer whose essay on suicide might save the magazine and an overzealous fact checker who questions every statement - leading us to question the definition of truth. John D'Agata and Jim Fingal wrote a novel of the same title which detailed their debates and discussions about disinformation and misinformation during the fact checking period of the suicide essay. This play was based on their book and leaves one wondering "What IS the truth anyway?"
RKP Productions and Anchorage Community Theatre present The Lifespan of a Fact from Jan 12 through Jan 28 at Anchorage Community Theatre. Tickets are available at actalaska.org or (907) 344 - 9713
