An English morality play translated from a 15th-century Dutch version attributed to Peter Dorland; a dramatization of the "Ars moriendi," depicting the importance of a good preparation for death. Everyman, summoned to appear before God, is abandoned by all except his neglected Good Works who alone may accompany him through the valley of death.
