Photo Flash: First Look at Merritt Wever & More in MCC's THE NETHER!

MCC Theater presents the New York premiere of Jennifer Haley's The Nether directed byAnne Kaufman. Ben Rosenfield, memorably of the final two seasons of "Boardwalk Empire," and rising talent Sophia Anne Caruso will take on the roles of Woodnut and Iris, respectively. As previously announced, The Nether will also star "Nurse Jackie" Emmy Award winner Merritt Wever, New York theater veteran Peter Friedman and Tony Award winner Frank Wood.

The Nether continues through March 15, 2015 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre (121 Christopher Street), with opening night set for February 24th. Check out photos of the cast in action below!

The Nether, winner of the Susan SmithBlackburn Prize, is a haunting thriller that will make you question when the fantastic becomes too real. 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.
