CL RECOMMENDS

CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: The season opener for the Alliance Theatre this time around is an “irreverent, rollicking, uproarious ride that asks big questions of all who see it,” the hype would have you believe. “Everybody” is the work of Pulitzer Prize finalist and Obie Award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, described as “one of this country’s most original and illuminating writers” by The New York Times. His piece was inspired by the 15th century morality play “Everyman” and ponders the meaning of life from the cradle to the grave. Co-directed by Tinashe Kajese-Bolden and Susan V. Booth (in her final Alliance project), the staging of “Everybody” uses a singular conceit, which Jacobs-Jenkins explains thusly: "The concept...is that every night there’ll be a different Everyman, chosen by lottery, so the cast will shift a lot. This may be an insane idea. We’re assuming all these lovely actors are going to memorize the entire script.” — KCM

From the venue:

By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Co-Directed by Susan V. Booth & Tinashe Kajese-Bolden

Described as "one of this country's most original and illuminating writers" by The New York Times, Pulitzer Prize finalist and Obie Award winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins has created an irreverent, rollicking, uproarious ride that asks BIG questions of all who see it. In EVERYBODY, Everybody is a happy person, a free person, a person who believes nothing but the best lies ahead. Then Death comes calling, and Everybody must go on a journey to find what has had lasting significance in his lifetime. Inspired by the 15th century play Everyman, EVERYBODY explores the meaning of life and the roles we play along the way. In keeping with life's random twists and turns, the play's performers draw names on stage each night to determine which actor will play each character in that performance.
