Severance's Jen Tullock to Bring Solo Show to Playwrights Horizons

Playwrights Horizons announced its fall 2025 programming, with two world premiere plays that examine the pull of groupthink and the manipulation of truth, set against the backdrop of a nation in upheaval.

The thematically in-dialogue plays are Nazareth Hassan’s dark psycho-comedy Practice (October-December 2025) and solo piece Nothing Can Take You from the Hand of God (October 2025) written by Jen Tullock and Frank Winters.

Practice depicts an ensemble of actors entering an unconventional devised theater process led by a maverick “genius.” Written by Nazareth Hassan (Bowl EP) and directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant (Terce: A Practical Breviary), Practice explores power and submission through the act of artistic collaboration within a suffocatingly tight group.

In Nothing Can Take You From the Hand of God, co-written by Tullock (Severance) and Winters (To Distraction) and directed by Jared Mezzocchi, a best-selling writer releases a book about her upbringing as a gay kid in the Evangelical South and is confronted by the woman she claims to have had an affair with—who insists the stories are false. Operating multiple cameras and live looping systems, Tullock plays all the characters.

Playwrights Horizons will also team up with London’s Soho Theatre to launch a festival celebrating the power of perspectives from abroad, the Foreign Exchange Festival, running in December 2025 at both Playwrights and Soho Theatre. The festival will send four new works from UK playwrights to New York and four from US writers to London for readings.

Four additional productions, for the winter/spring of the 2025-26 season, will be announced at a later date.
