DRAMATURG'S NOTE
2024: The New 15th Century
In the 15th century, morality plays were all the rage. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon than in a theatre, watching a show that tells you how to be a good person? One of the first recorded in English was Everyman, a Christian work, written anonymously and translated by a monk named Peter. Almost 500 years later, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins adapted Everyman into a modernized re-telling, Everybody. At its core, Everybody delves into the fundamental question of what it means to live a good life and face the inevitability of death. You know, just the simple and easy question of “What is the meaning of life?”
The character of Everybody asks this very question. Faced by Death’s beckoning, Everybody searches for something to bring with them to the other side. They reflect on their deeds in life (good and bad), the friends they made, and even the physical things they owned. In the end, *spoiler alert* Love is the only comfort that Everybody can bring along after a reflective journey on the entirety of their being.
As much as our society has evolved since the 15th century, it is somewhat comforting to know that we are still considering the same question as the audience members of the original Everyman; “How can I be a good person?”
Today’s world is not easy. We are constantly whiplashed between wars, natural disasters, genocides, and not to mention worldwide pandemics. At every turn, there is something new to protest, boycott, fight for, and as it often unfortunately goes, ignore. Every day, we have an opportunity to reflect in the same way the character Everybody does. Is there more I can do? Are we inherently good? In the end, will I have done enough? Humanity does not agree on much. It can be hard to see the things that unite us when that which divides us is so readily available. But, I’d like to believe we can all agree on two things: We have a genuine desire to do good and a hope for a future where we are proud of the impact we have left behind. Boiled down, that’s all Everybody wants: peace, resolution, and comfort that they did all they could to be satisfied with the mark they left on the world.
Rather than “sit back, relax, and enjoy” I ask that you lean in and include yourself in the show. After all, we don’t know how the lottery will turn out…YOU could be Everybody.
“What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some but for everyone .”
– Hal David & Burt Bacharach
Lauren Carn, Dramaturg
