In 2003, D\u2019Agata submitted the essay \u201cWhat Happens There\u201d to Harper Magazine but was pulled from the print after Fingal\u2019s research found factual errors. After seven years of discussion and correspondence between Fingal and D\u2019Agata, the essay was published in The Believer magazine and the two co-wrote the book The Lifespan of a Fact about the experience. The book includes in full Fingal\u2019s red-line comments and complete correspondence between them. It was named The Best Book of the Year by the Huffington Post and a Top 10 Most Crucial Book of the Year by Slate.<\/p>\n<p>Radcliffe will play Fingal, Bobby Cannavale will play D\u2019Agata and Cherry Jones will play Fingal\u2019s boss.In the play, Radcliffe has a small job, fact-checking articles for the best magazine in the country and his boss assigned him the biggest job so far. He found out that the majority of the article is made up by the author John D\u2019Agata and he starts the debate on the blurred lines of what passes for truth in literary nonfiction.<\/p>\n<p>Radcliffe is not a stranger to the stage so we expect an excellent performance. He starred in 2016 \u201cPrivacy\u201d at the Public Theatre in New York, 2013 West End production of \u201cThe Cripple of Inishmaan\u201d and 2011 \u201cHow to Succeed in Business without Really Trying\u201d on Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for all dates can be bought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/the-lifespan-of-a-fact-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lifespan of a Fact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show Date and Time: Thursday, 20 September 2018, 8pm<\/p>\n<p>Show Location: Studio 54-NY, New York<\/p>\n<p>Show Duration: 1 hour, 35 minutes, no intermission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who brought the greatest wizard boy Harry Potter to life, is suiting up and returning to Broadway this fall to star&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":72,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-theater"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31112"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31112\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31113,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31112\/revisions\/31113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
