THE COAL MINE THEATRE & STUDIO 180 THEATRE PRESENTS:

THE NETHER

Written by Jennifer Haley & Directed by Peter Pasyk

'The Nether' is an immersive virtual world. Log in, choose an identity and indulge in every whim, in every dark desire. When a young detective uncovers this disturbing brand of entertainment, she triggers a grim battle over technology and human desire. The Nether is both serpentine crime drama and haunting sci-fi thriller that explores the consequences of living out one’s private dreams. It is a daring and scandalous look at what is real, and what is legal.

“The Nether is really about creativity and the limits of imagination (and ultimately the nature of love) but foremost, Haley’s characters are talking about art and the theater.” Variety
