“Job is a razor-sharp psychological thriller for the age of burnout, ambition, and life online. Max Wolf Friedlich takes what begins as a workplace crisis and turns it into something far more unsettling: a charged encounter between two people who are both certain they understand the world better than the other. It’s tense, funny, unnervingly current, and exactly the kind of provocative contemporary play TampaRep is excited to bring to our audience.”

Jane has been placed on leave from the tech company that has become her entire identity after becoming the subject of a viral video. Determined to return to the job that gives her life meaning, she arrives for a mandated session with Loyd, a crisis therapist whose job is to decide whether she is ready to go back. But what begins as a professional assessment quickly becomes something far more volatile.
Max Wolf Friedlich’s Job is a razor-sharp psychological thriller about ambition, burnout, generational conflict, and what happens when work becomes an identity more than a just livelihood.
“From its intense and inscrutable opening moments to its deliciously ambiguous end, Job is one pressure cooker of a play.”
– The Washington Post
“A taut thriller for the modern era… the stuff of nightmares, except that the play is built on fact, on the bleak truth we’re all living with.”
– The Boston Globe
“Often incongruently funny, Job is infused with a looming, ever-intensifying dread that feels all too timely.”
– Chicago Sun-Times
“A therapist’s office is meant to be a safe space, but when a patient brings a gun to their appointment it becomes anything but… and so begins a riveting psychological thriller.”
