Everybody
Marjorie Lyons Playhouse | Theatre
Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, _Everybody_ reimagines _Everyman_, the quintessential medieval morality play – a religious allegory about death and salvation.
As the play unfolds the audience encounters hilariously ridiculous pre-recorded voiceovers that depict Everybody’s friends comforting them at their deathbed, unexpected twists, and a clever reinventing of classic text to contemporary comedy. Though the narrative is focused on death, the result is absurdly fun. _Everybody_ turns the biggest question of all—what happens when we die?—into a theatrical experience full of laughter, heart, and surprising insight.
“A play about love- or, rather, a play that shows how impossible it is to write about love- and it fills the heart in a new and unexpected way.” - The New Yorker
