Everyman - A Morality Play
from Parson’s Nose Radio Theater Hosted by Lance Davis
The Summoning of Every Man (40 min.) "Death! Thou comest when I had thee least in mind!" In the Middle Ages, life was spare and fleeting. Cautionary Christian lessons of Salvation, and stories of the glory of Eternal Life were taught to the illiterate, but intelligent populace, not only in sermons, but also in the comforting symbolism of liturgy, stained glass windows, and Morality and Mystery plays. When God summons the care-free Everyman, who will go with him to explain his life's actions? Friends? Family? Riches? Everyman is a joyful and mysterious play, originally Flemish, adapted from the English "York Cycle" by Broadway, TV and film actor and Parson's Nose Artistic Director Lance Davis. Performed by Lance Davis. Introduced by Michael Faulkner. Music by Tom Peters. Image by Lance Davis: Saint Chapelle, Paris.
