The protagonist of Everybody is you and everyone you know, and you are all on a journey to meet your maker – if they exist. In this mordantly witty 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist, adapted from the 15th-century morality play Everyman, characters are moral concepts and states of being (or non-being), including Kinship, Evil, Beauty, and Understanding. And they are very funny. Everybody celebrates life while engaging Death (who is kinder than you might expect). It’s a simple story that’s also highly complex, and might just make you laugh until you weep.

Reflecting the arbitrariness of life and death, actors change roles each night, selected by lottery, and no two performances are alike. Everybody will make you feel less alone, potentially spark catharsis, and remind you of the importance of love.
