Everyman in the Circus of Life is a contemporary retelling of Everyman that combines the fun and skills of circus performance with the exploration of one of the great dramas of the medieval world. All the characters remain, but they have become figures in a circus: Death is the ringmaster; Worldly Possessions a juggler; Strength a weight lifter, for example. The script also includes the original Everyman to make it accessible to the modern reader, as well as rehearsal activities and games.

In this story of love and loss, Wertenbaker explores the longing for identity, the despair of fragmentation, and the fragile hopes of lives redefined. “Alexander...has escaped persecution and made it into Britain. Three years later his indomitable mother, Petra, arrives at Heathrow in search of him. Eventually, mother and son meet in a confrontation of irreconcilable attitudes: the one embodies an intransigent... nationalism, the other the necessary assimilation of the exile. As always, Wertenbaker is unafraid to tackle big issues.” (The Guardian, London)

The joys and challenges of everyday life are richly depicted in this classic.
