‘JOB’ Review: Taut Broadway Drama Uploads a Journey Through Cyber-Hell
Peter Friedman and Sydney Lemmon star in Max Wolf Friedlich’s electrifying synapse of play about the horrors of life in the internet age.
It’s no spoiler to say “ JOB ”, Max Wolf Friedlich’s electrifying synapse of play, features a highly stressed young woman pointing a gun at a therapist in his office. For most of its duration, the play appears to be a tense tug-of-war between a disturbed employee and a trapped therapist who is surely not going to sign off to her demands, but who instinctively feels the need to help a troubled and conflicted soul who insists, “This is not who I am.” Friedman summons the same cool and ambiguous professionalism he displayed in his role of corporate exec Frank Vernon in HBO’s “Succession.” In a terrific performance, the actor makes Loyd’s sensitivity and calming persona a natural product of his long-ago, Berkeley hippie days.
