The Nether offers complete freedom – a new virtual wonderland provides total sensory immersion. Just log in, choose an identity and indulge your every desire.
But when a young detective uncovers a disturbing brand of entertainment, she triggers an interrogation into the darkest corners of imagination.
Winner of the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, The Nether is both an intricate crime drama and a haunting sci-fi thriller that explores the consequences of making dreams a reality. This new play follows an investigation into the complicated and disturbing morality of identity in a digital world.”

Review: The Nether At The Duke Of York's Theatre
Video projections have now become an integral part of many West End shows, with some using it effectively and a few, let's face it, using it as a desperate gimmick to liven up a dull plot. Sometimes I feel I might have been better off staying home and watching a dvd such is the often overuse of projections and video effects. Miss Saigon, Billy Elliot, Jersey Boys and We Will Rock You are all shows where the use of video has been seamlessly merged into the story without making people forget they are in a theatre and not actually in a cinema. You can't liven up a dud with a few jazzy effects. Remember: story story story.

Review: Life In The Nether Will Mess With Your Mind
If you had the chance to give up your real life, and become a completely different person - doing anything you wanted, without fear of consequences - would you do it?
This is one of the many questions posed by The Nether, now showing at the Duke Of York's Theatre a deeply disturbing and thought-provoking look at a not-too-distant future.

5-STAR REVIEW: The Nether Is Remarkable And Daring
I'd seen a lot of writing about The Nether when it was at the Royal Court. So when I heard it was moving into the West End I was quick to secure a ticket through LondonTheatreDirect.

The Nether Is Compelling, A Little Uncomfortable And Not To Be Missed
Other than the fact that it had won awards for design and that it had transferred from the Royal Court, I really knew nothing about The Nether when I sat in my seat at the Duke Of York's Theatre ready for curtain up. It's nice to do this occasionally rather than having to do a mountain of homework before watching each show. What an interesting and very different experience I was treated to!
