This modern riff on the 15th-century morality play Everyman follows Everybody (chosen amongst the cast by lottery live at each performance) as they journey through life’s greatest mystery - the meaning of living. While Everybody maintains much of the structure and storyline of the original play, playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins draws a connection between medieval anxieties about death and modern existential angst, showing that humanity still (and always has) struggled with the same unanswerable questions: What happens when we die? How do I prepare myself? What is the value of my life?
