Cast of Broadway Thriller ‘Job’ on Exploring Social Media’s Dark Side: ‘The Theater Just Rocks’
'Job' stars Sydney Lemmon and Peter Friedman on bringing their hit thriller about social media to Broadway
“Job,” which transferred to Broadway ’s Helen Hayes Theatre this month after acclaimed runs at the SoHo Playhouse and the Connelly Theater, is a fleet 80 minutes — but Friedman and his co-star, Sydney Lemmon, spend every one of them locked in a steely test of wills. Friedman plays Loyd, a hippie therapist, and Lemmon is Jane, a content moderator at a tech company, who’s tasked with scrolling through all that’s hateful and sordid online (a basket of deplorables that includes everything from bestiality and pedophilia to torture porn). The show, which was written by Max Wolf Friedlich, isn’t just a spirited debate about whether smartphones or the TikTok addicts who wield them are more to blame for the ills of the internet.
