Job Reviews

The Boston Globe - Recommended

"...Although the most unsettling elements are described, not enacted, “Job” is extremely disturbing. Especially in its latter stages, it feels like a drama that the late British playwright Sarah Kane might have written, had she lived deeper into the digital age."

WBUR - Highly Recommended

"...The skillful Marianna Bassham directs this taut production, starring the remarkable duo Josephine Moshiri Elwood and Dennis Trainor Jr. Moshiri Elwood is the somewhat lonely Jane whose identity is tied too tightly to her career, and Trainor plays Loyd, who believes he can help even the most difficult of patients. He is certain he can help Jane, but she’s not really interested in tying trauma A to trauma D. All she wants is her job. A job that she feels she’s excellent at. Not to mention, it gives her power, she says."

New England Theater Mirror - Highly Recommended

"...Describing the details of the plot any further would risk tripping the spoiler alert buzzer, but suffice it say that Job is hardly an 80-minute therapy session. Rather, the play has more in common with a hostage situation and generational duel (and the ending is indeed a quintessential — and literal — showstopper). Highly recommended for those looking for a timely production with stellar performances and a smart, edgy script."

The New England Theatre Geek - Highly Recommended

"...Job, at its core, diffuses and blurs divides—Gen Z and Boomers, online and offline, power and burden. It leaves you with questions and insights, and a burning desire to both know and do more."

METR Mag - Recommended

"...Max Wolf Friedlich’s "JOB" story isn’t new and has an episodic television feel to it, as if we are watching an installment from an anthology series such as “Twilight Zone,” complete with its trademark“O Henry”-style twist for its climactic conclusion."
