EVERY CLICK HAS CONSEQUENCES.
A gripping psychological thriller that will leave you questioning everything you think you know.
Jane has been suspended from work. Before she can return, she must undergo a mandatory assessment with a therapist determined to uncover the truth.
What follows is anything but straightforward.
Written by acclaimed playwright Max Wolf Friedlich, JOB transforms a seemingly ordinary conversation into a breathtaking psychological duel where every question becomes a weapon and every answer raises the stakes.
Funny, unnerving and relentlessly suspenseful, Job is one of the most talked-about new plays of recent years. It holds a mirror to our hyper-connected world, exploring online identity, cancel culture, surveillance, artificial intelligence, corporate responsibility and the fragile line between our digital and real selves.
An unforgettable theatrical experience that grips from its opening moments and tightens relentlessly until its astonishing conclusion. Provocative, intelligent and deeply unsettling, Job will leave audiences arguing long after they leave the theatre.
“A slick, cleverly crafted drop-tower ride.” — Vulture
“Muscle-tensing and entertaining.” ★★★★ — The Guardian
This production of JOB contains strong language, discussions of mental health, workplace trauma, psychological manipulation, and references to suicide, violence, online extremism, and disturbing digital content. The play explores themes that some audience members may find confronting. Viewer discretion is advised.

Happy Students
Chris has created something truly special with the Mockingbird classes – an incredibly supportive community free of judgement, where people are encouraged to take risks, be themselves and have fun! I’ve learnt so much more than I ever expected – about acting and about myself – under Chris’ guidance. The classes are truly the highlight of my week! I can’t overestimate how much joy and value Mockingbird brings to us all!
