REVIEWS:

"This is theatre rather unlike anything you might have seen…unusual, unconventional and eye-opening…Everyman is no barrel of laughs, being a morality play about death. Everybody tells the same tale, with equal emotional heft; but it is not only provocative and involving, it is also funny. Wildly funny, in fact."

Huffington Post

"…[a] very meta and saucy adaptation…"

Time Out New York

"[Everybody] fills the heart in a new and unexpected way."
