Everyman Paperback - 2010

Everyman is a morality play written in the late 15th century by an anonymous author. The play tells the story of Everyman, a typical human being who is summoned by Death to account for his life before God. Everyman, realizing his impending demise, seeks out companionship and support from his friends, family, and worldly possessions, but one by one they all abandon him. In the end, he must face his judgment alone, with only the knowledge of his good and bad deeds to plead his case. The play is a powerful allegory for the human condition and the inevitability of death, and it explores themes of morality, redemption, and the importance of living a virtuous life. Despite its age, Everyman remains a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences today.Everyman. Gramercy, my frendes and kynnesmen kynde.
