The play is a dark comedy which “explores one man’s journey down the digital rabbit hole, examining how far he’s willing to go, and how much he’s prepared to lose, for validation in a world where ‘everybody’s changing the rules”.

It is pertinent to mention that the production will begin preview performance on May 23, before an official opening on June 11.

Sam, the director of the play, revealed in a statement, “I’ve been looking for years to lure John to the stage. What a dream it’s going to be with such a vital piece of writing from one of my favorite writers and collaborators. I can’t wait to get started!”

Meanwhile, John previously appeared Off-Broadway in the 2016 Public Theatre production of Sarah Burgess’ play Dry Powder. He starred in the production opposite three-time Emmy winner Claire Danes and six-time Emmy winner Hank Azaria.
