Jennifer Haley’s The Nether Will Transfer to London's West End

Jennifer Haley’s The Nether, which previously ran at London’s Royal Court Theatre to acclaim, will transfer to the West End. Directed by Jeremy Herrin, the play will begin previews at the Duke of York’s Theatre on January 30, 2015 and officially open on February 23. The production will run through April 25.

Original cast members Amanda Hale (Morris), Stanley Townsend (Sims) and Ivanno Jeremiah (Woodnut) are joined by Zoe Brough and Isabella Pappas, who will alternate the role of Iris as they did at the Royal Court. Final casting will be announced later.

The Nether offers complete freedom—a new virtual wonderland providing total sensory immersion. Just log in, choose an identity and indulge your every desire. An intricate crime drama and a haunting thriller set in the year 2050, The Nether follows an investigation into the complicated, disturbing morality of identity in the digital world, and explores the consequences of making dreams a reality.

The production will feature set design by Es Devlin, with costume design by Christina Cunningham, lighting by Paul Pyant, compositions by Nick Powell, sound by Ian Dickinson and video design by Luke Halls.
