THE NETHER
Written by Jennifer Haley
Directed by Bill English
PLAY DETAILS
A new virtual wonderland provides total sensory immersion. Just log in, choose an identity and indulge your every whim. But when a young detective uncovers a disturbing brand of entertainment, she triggers a dark 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 our private dreams.
San Francisco Playhouse’s production of The Nether is made possible by Executive Producer Andrew Teufel, Producer John Trout, and Associate Producers Andy Kerr & Nancy Thompson.
