It's time for another visit with Midday's theater critic, J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of Maryland's regional stage. Today, Judy tells us about Maryland Ensemble Theatre's new production of The Lifespan of a Fact.

The 2018 stageplay, written by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, is an adaptation of a book by John D'Agata and Jim Fingalthat explores the complexity of sorting truth from fiction in writing and in public narratives.

Gené Fouché directs the three-person cast, featuring Sean Byrne, Jack Evans and Laura Stark.

The play contains adult themes and is recommended for mature audiences.

The Lifetime of a Fact continues at MET in Frederick, Maryland through October 30. Click the links above for more information.
