Good Theater is kicking off its 20th season with a show that premiered on Broadway in 2018. Directed by Stephen Underwood, “The Lifespan of a Fact” stars Mark Rubin, Jay Mack and Denise Poirier. Mack’s Jim Fingal is a recent Harvard graduate fact-checker working at the storied yet floundering New York magazine. Rubin’s John D’Agata has written a potentially magazine-saving essay about the suicide of a teenage boy. What ensues is a funny yet riveting conflict that pits the facts against the truth.
