Everyman TodayEveryman Today
Synopsis:
As described by Atkinson in the NY Times: "Even in modern terms this classic about Man and Death is a sobering speculation on the grim ordeal of Judgment Day. Mr. Sorell. . .has written. . .with the admirable bluntness that characterizes the original English version, also with reverence, humanity and a little humor. . .Mr. Sorell's Drama. . .[includes] moral discussions about 'power' and 'science,' which are not so simple and personal as 'gluttony' and 'greed' the sins of the original version. . .But nothing said here should suggest that EVERYMAN TODAY is not a moving morality Drama written by a man of taste, principle and theatre knowledge. there is nothing in either church or theatre much more terrifying and chastening than the ominous cries of 'Everyman, Everyman, Everyman' that seem to come from the portals to Purgatory. . .they make it evident that Mr. Sorrell's Drama has literary and Dramatic qualities worthy of its ageless theme.
