Description
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.

Reviews
Throughout his meteoric career, Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins has made a virtue of his anxieties about identity--social, racial, creative--in meta-theatrical plays that turn traditional forms inside out.
--New York Times
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
Provocative and involving...Wildly funny.
--Huffington Post
The play is trenchant, certainly, and often quite moving...Jacobs-Jenkins is a destabilizer, never more so than in Everybody.
