Everyman, written in approximately 1500 by an unknown author, is considered the finest surviving example of a medieval morality play. Serving as a bridge between the religious plays of the Middle Ages and the emerging secular drama of the Renaissance, it holds significant historical and artistic value. For this reason, it is commonly included in courses such as Introduction to Theatre, Theatre Appreciation, and Introduction to Humanities.

Although its plot is relatively simple in structure, the play’s universal message allowed it to resonate widely with all classes of audiences across Europe. Through its use of allegorical characters such as Beauty, Good Deeds, and Knowledge, listeners can easily relate to the spiritual reckoning that Everyman, the central character, must confront at the end of his life.
