On November 1, a battle between objective truth and subjective truth began in the small theater. The Broadway comedy "The Expiration Date of Facts" will appear at the Shanghai Dramatic Art Center and will be performed until November 24. Afterwards, "The Validity Period of Facts" will go to Beijing for the first time and perform four times at Beijing Tianqiao Art Center.

""The Expiration Date of Facts" uses small things to make you think big. Every time I read the script, every time I discuss with the actors, my position will tilt. Even when I read the same play at different stages, my position will change. "It's changing." Director Xie Shuai was deeply attracted by the characters' respective positions, "Our understanding of life determines what we can see. The process of actors persuading each other is like a play within a play. This feeling is very interesting. "

"The Validity Period of Facts"

A brilliant article, magazine editor Emily (played by Chen Jiaoying) sent fact checker Jim (played by Liu Xuanrui) to fact-check John's article. Jim found that the article contained many facts that were inconsistent with the facts, but John refused to modify the article. The three of them started a heated debate. Is it more important for Jim to insist on the accuracy of the facts, or for John to retain the truth but handle the details in an "artistic" way in his non-fiction "observation articles" that is more recognized?

The furnishings in the central area of ​​the stage maintain a realistic sense of life, while the surrounding space surrounded by blinds is swallowed up in black.
