The Unknown - written by David Cale and directed by Leigh Silverman - debuted on January 31 and runs until April 12.

Sean stars as writer Elliott in the play, who goes to stay in his friend's remote cabin in an attempt to cure his writer's block, only to find that he is being stalked. 

The psychological thriller sees the Tony Award winner take on the impressive task of playing 11 different characters over the course of the 75-minute production.

The couple have been going from strength to strength since they began dating last year, first setting off romance rumours when they were glimpsed on holiday in Mallorca, Spain, over the Fourth of July weekend.

They took their relationship to the next level in September when Jim supported Jennifer at the season three premiere of her Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show, before going Instagram official in November when he rang in his 50th birthday. 

Sharing a beaming photo of her wrapping her arms around Jim from behind, the We're The Millers star penned: 'Happy birthday my love. Cherished'.

And he returned the favour this week as Jennifer turned 57, sharing a romantic black and white photo of them kissing and another of the pair sharing a laugh while aboard a luxury yacht, captioned: 'HBD MY ❤️'.

Last month Jim was grilled on his relationship with the Hollywood star while appearing on the Today show, and revealed how their romance began.

He explained: 'We were introduced by friends. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat. It took a long time, but we chatted for a long time and became close.'

Jim is a life coach and love 'guru,' and he describes himself as a 'transformational coach and hypnotherapist.'

And although she has generally stayed private about her relationship in interviews, Jennifer raved about her new boyfriend's career in an interview with Elle in November.

The Horrible Bosses star gushed: 'Hypnotism is one of the many things that he does. He's quite extraordinary, and helps many, many people.

'He's very special, very normal, and very kind, and wants to help people heal, move through their trauma and stagnation into clarity. It's a beautiful thing to commit your life to.'
