STAGE TUBE: Get a First Look at THE NETHER in LA
The world premiere of "The Nether," a new play by Jennifer Haley that explores the moral complexity of our increasingly virtual existence, opens at Center Theatre Group's Kirk Douglas Theatre this Sunday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m. Performances continue through April 14, 2013.
Directed by CTG Associate Artistic Director Neel Keller, the cast features Brighid Fleming, Adam Haas Hunter, Robert Joy, Dakin Matthews and Jeanne Syquia. The scenic design is by Adrian W. Jones, costume design by Alex Jaeger, lighting design by Christopher Kuhl and sound design by John Zalewski. Casting is by Erika Sellin and the production stage manager is Kirsten Parker.
"The Nether" tantalizes with timely, thought-provoking questions about the growing sophistication of the digital realm, and the possibility that it will become a more fulfilling place to "live" than the real world. Set in the not-too-distant future, where a detective investigates a highly interactive site in which taboo acts of secret desires are blurring the boundaries of right and wrong, and of virtual and real. She finds herself in a battle of wills with a charismatic suspect and wrestles with the question, is it a crime if the blood is just bits of computer code?
