A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century in a new adaptation by Carol Ann Duffy; with Chiwetel Ejiofor and movement by Javier De Frutos. On screen, not just on stage.

Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out. One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives.
