Each semester, the DAN School produces a theatrical work called 'The Majors.’ All Queen's students are allowed to audition to be part of the cast or apply to be part of the crew. Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester; information can be found on the Auditions page in the Current Students section. The Drama Majors has a long history at Queen’s, and the list of past productions can be found below.
When death comes for you, what will you do? Who would you want to accompany you in your final moments? How would you represent the sum total of your life?
Based on the medieval morality play Everyman, this adaptation explores death - and life - through the contexts, relationships, and philosophies of the 21st Century. When God becomes frustrated with the course humanity has taken, they call upon Everybody to present their life choices. Everybody, afraid of dying alone, searches for someone to accompany them. Will they succeed in their efforts, or will it all have been in vain? So, let’s go on a journey…everybody is welcome.
