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

Based on the Book by John D'Agata and Jim Fingal

By arrangement with Music Theatre International Australasia Pty Ltd, on behalf of Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

Directed by Carla Moore

 

November 1st - November 23rd

 

Jim Fingal has a small job: to fact check articles for one of the best magazines in the country. Jim Fingal’s boss, Emily Penrose has given him a big assignment: apply his skill to a groundbreaking piece by legendary author John D’Agata. And now, Jim Fingal has a huge problem: John has been careless with the facts. This comedic yet gripping three-hander, becomes a battle over facts versus truth. Significant questions are fought over in this briskly entertaining play and you’ll find yourself happy to have your preconceptions and assumptions disturbed.

How did you like the event?

   Everything about the play was first rate. The story is topical and the ending satisfying. I was very impressed by the acting of all three players, with Karen Pattinson particularly standing out. A great achievement for local theatre.

   Very professional and talented cast. Just not a real fan of the play! Still worth the visit and can’t wait till the 2025 season.

How did you like the event?

   The play started off well. Good concept . It got bogged down in the second part going over the same fairly trivial things. I thought there would be a revelation but there was not. I was very impressed with the actors.

   Interesting second act, first act convulated.Not sure if I did get the facts . Food for thought though .Always great acting, the three actors were first rate. Good on you Chester for a topical play about misinformation that abounds in our media today. See you in 2025 !

How did you like the event?

 Thank you for choosing a play of such challenging content, and for carrying it off so well. Carla's direction was exemplary, as always, and the acting was appropriately understated, leaving the audience nowhere to hide from the message. It was a perfect performance, made even more poignant by the struggle America now faces to distinguish 'fact from fiction' as Donald Trumps reclaims the Whitehouse.

 Thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Very believable and convincing portrayals by the 3 actors. Didn't know what to expect but knew we'd be in for a treat. We weren't disappointed. If you haven't already been to see 'The Lifespan of a Fact', do yourself a favour and book some tickets. Well done Theatre on Chester!!!

How did you like the event?

 The Lifespan of a Fact and was thoroughly captivated by its exploration of truth and storytelling, The intimate production brought the story to life with a talented cast of three, each delivering powerful performances that made the tension between the writer and fact-checker riveting and often very funny. Highly recommend it.
