The forthcoming play begins performances at the Hayes Theatre from 30 July, following an off-Broadway run which started last year at SoHo Playhouse, before it moved to the Connelly Theatre for a second run. The psychological thriller written by Max Wolf Friedlich and directed by Michael Herwitz is centered around an employee of a big tech company who’s placed on leave after she becomes the subject of a viral video and, determined to regain the job that gives her life meaning, seeks the help of a crisis therapist.

“Anyone familiar with Dev’s work already knows what a naturally brilliant storyteller he is,” producer Hannah Getts said in a statement, “so it’s no surprise that his work on JOB not only enriches the thematic and narrative threads but also deepens the emotional resonance of the play.”
