Firsly we are introduced to the Messenger who asks the audience to give their attention and announces the purpose of the play, which will show us our lives as well as our deaths.
God speaks next, and immediately criticises the way that “all creatures” are not serving Him properly. People are living without fear in the world and even any thought of heaven or hell, or the judgment that will eventually come to them.

Everyman next turns to his “Goods and richesse” to help him, but Goods only tells
