The morning after such a party was always likely to be hung over but nobody expects to meet Kate Duchene playing a char who also happens to be God and is insistent on introducing the birthday boy to her acolyte, Death.Jacques’ direction is as nervily ambitious as Duffy’s revamped cosmological vision. In fact, when illuminated by Christopher Bocchiaro’s superb lighting design, the staging’s striking discotheque setting (designed in collaboration with Marc Poirier) is a more effective use of the “theatrical night club” concept than anything I’ve ever seen at the American Repertory Theater’s Club Oberon in Cambridge. A new portable performance structure – The Fleapit – will create an intimate and safe performance space and provide a 360-degree canvas for Everyman , transforming it into a completely immersive experience. The cleaner, weary, looks directly into the audience and asks what kind of day has been had by all. Are we enjoying our Prosecco? (Knowing sniggers given this is Opening Night) She warns that she will be clearing up condoms before the night is out but promises that won’t be the worst thing she has to clean up.

In the latter role, Dermot Crowley looks as if he has stepped out of a Conor McPherson play to find himself re-cast as the character that Everyman has clearly never considered meeting but instantly dreads more than any other.In Stylist magazine, [27] Duffy said of becoming poet laureate: "There's no requirement. I do get asked to do things and so far I've been happy to do them." She also spoke about being appointed to the role by Queen Elizabeth II, saying: "She's lovely! I met her before I became poet laureate but when I was appointed I had an 'audience' with her which meant we were alone, at the palace, for the first time. We chatted about poetry. Her mother was friends with Ted Hughes whose poetry I admire a lot. We spoke about his influence on me." [27]

The Somonyng of Everyman ( The Summoning of Everyman), usually referred to simply as Everyman, is a late 15th-century morality play. Like John Bunyan's 1678 Christian novel The Pilgrim's Progress, Everyman uses allegorical characters to examine the question of Christian salvation and what Man must do to attain it. She also writes picture books for children, and these include Underwater Farmyard (2002); Doris the Giant (2004); Moon Zoo (2005); The Tear Thief (2007); and The Princess's Blankets (2009). Rivera manages to strike the right balance for Everyman; not so smarmy as to become irredeemably unsympathetic, but flawed enough to suggest that the threat to his mortal soul is very real. The rest of the cast carry the narrative with spirited aplomb and artistry, taking on a number of roles as Everyman’s journey rolls toward eternity. Apollinaire Theatre Company has done delightful justice to Duffy’s zesty rejuvenation of a didactic dramatic chestnut. Winterson, Jeanette. "About | Carol Ann Duffy". JeanetteWinterson.com.

For those that do not know the 500-year-old mythic tale, it follows an archetypal man after Death comes visiting with the devastating news that Ev's days are severely numbered.

Following a series of spectacular graphics on an over-sized screen, the opening could not be happier, as a group of friends helps the affluent, proud central figure to enjoy a 40th birthday party with raucous friends, booze and coke in abundant supply.
