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, The University of Iowa Department of English, and The University of Iowa School of Journalism.
