Lifespan of a Fact Wollongong Workshop Theatre title graphic

The Lifespan of a Fact follows Jim Fingal, an ambitious young fact-checker assigned to verify an essay by celebrated author John D'Agata. Jim soon discovers significant factual inaccuracies, which John defends as necessary for emotional impact. Their editor, Emily Penrose, must mediate between their opposing perspectives under a tight publishing deadline. The play explores the tensions between journalistic integrity and artistic license, unfolding over a single, high- pressure weekend.

Wollongong Workshop Theatre (WWT) is the longest running community theatre group in Wollongong. We produce several shows each year, all of which provide our local community with access to the world of theatre production on stage and behind the scenes.
 

WWT is located on Dharawal Country. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the traditional owners of the lands on which we perform and throughout Australia, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
