Front Row Theatre Company Presents: The Nether
The Nether is a virtual wonderland that provides total sensory immersion. Just log in, choose an identity and indulge your every desire.
When Detective Morris investigates a realm called The Hideaway where pedophiles may live out their fantasies involving children, she brings its creator in for interrogation. They discover they have made emotional attachments in his realm that blind them to the greater questions of ethical behavior, both in the imagination and the outside world.
It makes us ask the question: how far will VR go? And what rights do we have to stop it?
Please note: The Nether contains discussion of violence against children, including sexual violence, and suicide. None of these actions are depicted onstage. This play is appropriate for mature audiences only.
