Max Wolf Friedlich

Max Wolf Friedlich is an American playwright and screenwriter known for his sharp, psychologically charged work, most notably Job, a breakout thriller about a tech content moderator sent to therapy after a viral meltdown. The play premiered Off-Broadway at Soho Playhouse in 2023, earning rave reviews, a New York Times Critic’s Pick, and an Outer Critics Circle nomination, before transferring to Broadway’s Helen Hayes Theater in 2024. Friedlich’s writing—darkly humorous and deeply attuned to modern anxieties—has quickly made him one of the most exciting new voices in American theater.
