Note to the Play:
The note explains that Hugo von Hofmannsthal adapted the old English morality play "Everyman" for the Salzburg festivals. He modernized the story, making it relevant to contemporary times while retaining the core idea of moral responsibility. Hofmannsthal simplified the original play by reducing it to three main characters: Mammon (representing greed), Good Deeds, and Faith.
