JOB

“80 minutes of pretty much pure tension. A slick, cleverly crafted drop-tower ride.” – Vulture

Critic’s Pick! “Nimble… JOB, a tight, 80-minute play by Max Wolf Friedlich, is filled with so many ideas that it seems to expand beyond the walls.” – The New York Times

“Engrossing, disturbing and frequently funny. It might even scare you off social media for a day or two.” – The New Yorker

“Exhilarating… taut and verbally lacerating… A two-person psychological thriller that pits an older man ostensibly in a position of power against a younger woman who is not afraid to seize it by any means necessary… When does a job become a holy calling? What ethics are we willing to suspend to pursue that mission? And how much of the world’s poison can one person absorb before it’s too much? JOB forces us to consider these questions before leaving us breathless with a series of dramatic gut punches.” – Theatermania

“Suspenseful… one of the best shows playing in NYC right now… You will be holding your breath throughout the 80-minute play.” – TimeOut New York

“Brilliant… a roller coaster ride of a psychological thriller… the play is intense, riveting, surprising, up-to-the-minute – and shocking. It may just be the best new American play in at least the last five years.” – TheaterScene

“The twists that occur as the show – which is frequently hilarious – surges to a breathtaking conclusion leave us with disturbing questions about both characters, and how they’ve exploited, or been exploited by, the modern world.” – The New York Sun
