The Death and Life of Everyman
By Patrick Rainville Dorns
Directed by Bryce Gardner
Here's a contemporary and comedic interpretation of the medieval poem.
In this allegorical story, the Grim Reaper gives the startling news to Mr.
Everyman that he will soon no longer live.
As his doom approaches, Everyman tries to persuade family and friends to
accompany him so he will not have to go alone.
Will Everyman succeed in convincing the Grim Reaper it is not his time?
Will he be able to take anything with him? Will anyone accompany him?
