Set within the framework of a morality play, Everybody follows the journey of 'Everybody', as they navigate their final moments, accompanied by 'Death' and other allegorical characters. Through humour, pathos, existential inquiry, and some socio-racial commentary for good measure, the play prompts audiences to reflect on the inevitability of death and the essence of what it means to live a meaningful life.

With a unique structure that randomly assigns roles to seven of the actors each performance, Everybody offers a dynamic and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.

Content Warning: Partial nudity, themes of death, discussion of racism,  coarse language, blasphemy, depiction of kidnapping, strobe lighting, sudden loud noises.

This performance will run for approximately 90 minutes and is presented without an interval.
