The Nether MCC Theater at The Lucille Lortel Theatre 121 Christopher St Feb 4, 2015 - Mar 15, 2015 There is a new immersive realm for the senses online, a virtual playground where those who plug in are coaxed into acting out their darkest fantasies--with no consequences in the "real" world. Or so it seems... until a young female detective begins an investigation to determine if there is a point at which thought or intention may actually constitute a crime within--and outside of--this new frontier. Winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Jennifer Haley's The Nether is a haunting thriller that will make you question when the fantastic becomes too real.

Every decision has lasting consequences in this intimate story about love, loyalty, betrayal, and trust.
