The Nether, Starring Merritt Wever & Frank Wood, Extends Off-Broadway

The New York premiere of Jennifer Haley’s The Nether has extended its off-Broadway run. The MCC production, which was originally set to play through March 15, will now run through March 22 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The Anne Kaufman-helmed production stars Nurse Jackie’s Merritt Wever and Tony winner Frank Wood.

The Nether follows a young detective who investigates an online network where those who plug in are coaxed into acting out their darkest fantasies with seemingly no consequences in the real world. Across the pond, the drama ran at London’s Royal Court Theatre and recently opened in the West End.

In addition to Wever and Wood, the off-Broadway cast includes Peter Friedman, Ben Rosenfield and Sophia Anne Caruso.
