Hope 2018 hasn't tired you out on arguments of what is and isn't a fact!

Daniel Radcliffe is returning to Broadway this fall in Cursed Child, in an adaptation of the book The Lifespan of a Fact.

Radcliffe will star with Bobby Cannavale and Cherry Jones in a tale that, per Variety, "follows the controversy surrounding a John D’Agata’s essay about the suicide of a Las Vegas teen. Originally submitted to Harper’s, which pulled it from publication over fact-checking issues, D’Agata and his fact-checker Jim Fingal re-submitted the piece to The Believer magazine. The pair than co-wrote a 2012 book “The Lifespan of a Fact” about their debate over whether facts can be invented or changed in an essay."

Radcliffe will portray Fingal.

In addition to Being Harry Potter and appearing in various films, Radcliffe was most recently seen on the NY stage in 2016's Privacy, a very good play about how technology is ruining our lives.

Additionally, if you've never seen him dance and sing like he did on Broadway back in 2011, you really must, though there's nothing to suggest he'll be doing any of that this time around. (Note to producers: There's still time!)

Leigh Silverman (Violet) will direct the new play, which begins performances on September 20 for a 16-week limited engagement.
