Auditions: Wednesday December 4 and Thursday December 5, 2024
Part riveting crime drama, part thought-provoking sci-fi thriller, The Nether is a daring exploration of the darkest corners of human desire. Set in the near future, the play begins in an interrogation room in which a police detective is questioning the creator of a lurid online platform that offers total sensory immersion – simply log in, select an alternative identity, and indulge your private fantasies in a virtual playground free of all moral and ethical boundaries.
Raising more questions than it answers, The Nether is a timely, disquieting, and cautionary parable about the shadowy middle-ground between the strictures of a virtuous reality and a beckoning virtual realm in which anything goes.
