Death and the Ploughman, a hauntingly beautiful play written in Germany in 1401, tells the story of a man who loses his beloved wife in her prime and demands some answers for his ensuing pain. He asks Death to respond. The result is an extraordinarily contemporary exploration of what it means to be alive in the world. Death and the Ploughman has never before been performed in the United States. It premiered at the Wexner Center in Columbus, Ohio in April 2004.
