Hugo von Hofmannsthal

JEDERMANN

Sommertheater

Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s “Jedermann oder das Spiel vom Sterben des reichen Mannes” is rooted in the tradition of medieval mystery plays. Hofmannsthal’s morality play tells an almost universal story: God sends Death to fetch the wealthy bon vivant JEDERMANN. However, in his darkest hour, JEDERMANN is abandoned by his friends, wealth, and lover. Facing death, JEDERMANN regrets his dissolute life far from God and repents. With his faith and good deeds, he dares to stand before the divine judge.
