Everybody

Show Information

Somebody is going to die. Death is at their door, and they have just 90 minutes to sift through their lifetime to find a companion, a memory, a fragment of meaning—anything to take with them into the unknown. This is the journey the protagonist, Everybody, is forced to embark on. But there’s a catch: at the start of each performance, the actors are randomly assigned their roles by lottery. No one knows who will play whom until the plot is in action. And one of them has been chosen to die. Just like in life, it all comes down to chance. Hilarious and haunting, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Everybody grapples with the fragility of existence. In the end, only one thing is certain: Everybody dies.
