Everyman
An adaptation of the medieval English morality play by the same name where the lone audience member is cast in the title role. Told by Death that they have been summoned to a final reckoning before God, the audience-Everyman journeys through a series of spiritual encounters with allegorical characters (Knowledge, Good Deeds, and others) before finally being placed into their grave.
