We construct a solvable deformation of two-dimensional theories with (2, 2) supersymmetry using an irrelevant operator which is a bilinear in the supercurrents. This supercurrent-squared operator is manifestly supersymmetric and equivalent to TT ̄after using conservation laws. As illustrative examples, we deform theories involving a single (2, 2) chiral superfield. We show that the deformed free theory is on-shell equivalent to the (2, 2) Nambu-Goto action. At the classical level, models with a superpotential exhibit more surprising behavior: the deformed theory exhibits poles in the physical potential which modify the vacuum structure. This suggests that irrelevant deformations of TT ̄ type might also affect infrared physics.
