“Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins’s democratic version has no place for stars. I can’t even tell you who will be playing the lead if and when you see the show. As life is determined by chance, so is the casting of this production’s ensemble. Five of the parts are newly reassigned at each performance by lottery … what you are about to see is one of 120 possible cast combinations” New York Times

** Quite literally, a different show every night **

Spoiler alert: everybody dies.

This modern adaption by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins of the morality play Everyman, follows Everybody - chosen from the cast by lottery at each performance - as they make their way to a final reckoning, in an attempt to demonstrate that their life, Everybody’s life, has meaning.
