Severance star Jen Tullock is bringing a solo show to Recent York this fall.
Tullock, who plays Devon on the Apple TV+ series, will star in Nothing Can Take You from the Hand of God Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. Tullock is a co-writer on the play, alongside Frank Winters.
Within the show, Tullock plays every character within the narrative of a queer memoirist who’s visiting her ultra-religious hometown. The production includes live and recorded video, and live motion, with Tullock’s character trajectory described as “glitching between a caped Polish 10-year-old; a pugnacious literary agent; a young religious leader; the protagonist’s mother, described as resembling ‘Mary Kay Place in a full face of drugstore makeup’; and lots of others.”
The play, directed by Jared Mezzocchi, is slated to run at Playwrights Horizons in October 2025, with exact dates to return. Along with her role on Severance, Tullock starred as Anita in season two of HBO’S Perry Mason and has worked as a author on movies comparable to Before You Know It, which premiered at Sundance in 2019. She has appeared on stage in Chicago and Recent York, including in a previous solo show.
“For years, I’ve woven various narratives of spiritual abuse into my work, but that is probably the most honest and difficult take yet, because it absolves nobody, myself included. I’ve been excited lately to see the vocabulary of media on stage expanded in so many forms, but what we try and do here is explore media as character; to inform a story a few traumatized person attempting to regulate their very own narrative in a literal way that I hope encourages healing in anyone who has been told to cover who they’re, yet who misses the community that forced them to accomplish that,” Tullock said in a press release to The Hollywood Reporter.
The production involves Playwrights Horizons because the theater company declares its fall 2025 programming with a concentrate on “interrogating the erosion of truth in a moment of collective brainwashing.” Nazareth Hassan’s dark psycho-comedy Practice, a few group of independent thinkers who slowly give themselves over to a charismatic leader, may also run on the midtown theater from October through December. 4 additional productions, slated for Winter/Spring 2026, shall be announced at a later date.
