JOB // APRIL 20 - MAY 11, 2025
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS THE CANADIAN PREMIERE OF:
JOB
By Max Wolf Friedlich
Directed by David Ferry
Jane, an employee at the big tech company (you know the one), has been placed on leave after becoming the subject of a viral video. She arrives in the office of a crisis therapist – Loyd – determined to be reinstated to the job that gives her life meaning. A psychological thriller, Job zooms in on two careerists of different generations, genders and political paradigms to examine what it means to be a citizen of the internet and our obligation to help the people who need it most.
“New York’s buzziest play… riveting.”
– The Daily Beast
“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
Job premiered off-Broadway at the Soho Playhouse on September 6, 2023. Directed by Michael Herwitz, the production featured Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon. On January 19, 2024, the production returned to New York for a limited run at the Connelly Theatre.
