From: Photo Flash: Waterbury Playhouse Presents THE NETHER

Waterbury Festival Playhouse is known for doing shows that are intense and that you'll talk about for hours after you've seen them.  Jennifer Haley's, The Nether, is just such a show, a cunning yet creepy play about the not too distant future. Haley, a Los Angeles writer who specializes in the ethics of technology, has created an intricate drama and a haunting thriller set in what may be the near future that makes us question what constitutes crime in a world of relative realities.  The Internet has morphed into the Nether and as her characters spend more time in the Nether than they do in "real life", the distinction between the real world and the virtual realm begins to blur.
