UWaterloo Theatre and Performance Presents...
EVERYBODY
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Directed By Tanja Jacobs
Tickets: $15 General Public, $10 Student & Senior, $5 eyeGO
EVERYBODY is a fourth-wall-defying contemporary adaptation of the 15th-century morality play, EVERYMAN. Jacobs-Jenkins’ secular take on the idea of morality and the journey to one’s demise is brilliantly written as a comedic adventure to the afterlife, where the protagonist, EVERYBODY, must answer to DEATH and bring a presentation of their life to GOD. EVERYBODY, terrified of completing this endeavour alone, seeks out the help of various figures in their life to accompany them into the unknown potential afterlife.
