Every One by Jo Clifford
This work asks questions of our own mortality and discovers how often hope and acceptance can be found in our darkest moments. Rooted in the mundane yet instantly recognisable drama of everyday family life, the play's great strength lies in exploring the idea that when death calls we grieve for the good times that have passed rather than the pain.'Astonishing.. an open wound of a play... a work of cathartic brilliance'
* Guardian *'Powerfully effective… slippery but devastating'
* The Stage *'A quietly radical reworking of Everyman… deeply compassionate'
* WhatsOnStage *'A big rollercoaster ride through the responsibilities we have to ourselves, our family, and the wider world'
* Exeunt *Jo Clifford (formerly known as John Clifford) is an award-winning playwright, translator, poet and performer, who has also worked as a journalist and academic. She was instrumental in establishing the reputation of the Traverse Theatre Company in the 1980s.
