Plays & playscripts

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 for Everybody (TCG Edition)

Wildly funny. --Huffington Post 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
