Inspired by the 15th century morality play Everyman, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' new work follows Everybody (played by one of five actors selected by lottery at the beginning of each performance) as he or she travels down a road toward life's greatest mystery and confronts the inevitable. An unpredictable and inventive inquiry into the ways we cope with our own mortality.
"With Everybody, Jacobs-Jenkins has written 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."-- "New Yorker"
