The American theater’s newest wunderkind, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, offers a kaleidoscopic, funny, and deeply poignant update of the quintessential medieval morality play, Everyman, in which the title character learns about life while journeying toward death.
Jacobs-Jenkins masterfully mixes contemporary issues of identity, representation, and the fluidity of self with the original’s address to life’s biggest mysteries. Directed by Vaun Monroe.
