Every year, this play is performed on the steps ofthe cathedral where Mozart was baptized as part of a tradition that began with a 1920 production starring Alexander Moissi,directed by Max Reinhardt, who made it an annual Âxture of the Salzburg Festival season. The main character of this play callsout to a companion lying on the ground, who is too weak to move until she is revived, after her sister points the protagonist tothe House of Salvation to make a confession. The title character carries a "full book of his accounts" and receives a "garment ofsorrow" made from his tears. Hugo von Hofmannsthal wrote a notable adaptation of this play, which ends with a speech by aDoctor of Theology reminding the audience how Beauty, Strength, Discretion, and Knowledge abandoned the title characteron his journey, since man can only take Good Deeds to the grave. For 10 points, name this medieval morality play in whichthe anonymous title character is forced by Death to go on an allegorical journey to achieve Christian salvation.
