Location
Riverside Theatre, 119 E. College Street
by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell (based on the book by John D’Agata & Jim Fingal)
April 18 – May 4, 2025 at Riverside Theatre
Synopsis: An eager intern at a top literary magazine is given a career-making assignment – fact-checking a new work by a celebrated essayist. The only problem is, most of the facts in the essay are embellished, adjusted, or just plain made up! Details wrestle with truth when the intern travels thousands of miles to confront the essayist, with the deadline looming. Based on the critically-acclaimed book by John D’Agata and Jim Fingal.
The production is made possible by generous support from The Robert E. Yager Charitable Trust and University of Iowa Department of English.
