Stage Door News
In the not-too-distant future, the sensory experiences of virtual reality have become as real as the physical world. But are the sins committed in this artificial world just as “real”? Can there be a crime committed if no harm was done in the physical sense? Is the law right to patrol "the nether", or is there a secret agenda at play? This serpentine crime drama will keep you guessing!
The Nether is a challenging and highly original creation that explores issues that might once have been thought of as “science fiction”, and today present a very real and growing question of morality and legality for the twenty-first century. It is both a fascinating thriller and a deeply engaging story of ideas.
The Nether was written by Jennifer Haley, directed by Luke Brown and stars Randy Hughson, Andrea Runge, Nigel Shawn Williams, Tim Funnell and Mary-Maria Bourdeau. The design team consists of Doug Paraschuk (Set and Costumes), Martin Conboy (Lighting), Ranil Sonnadara (Sound) and Sean Nieuwenhuis (Projections).
The Nether will run from October 26 – November 12 , 2016, with performances from Tuesdays – Saturdays at 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Tickets range from $30 - $75. Opening Night is Friday October 28th at 8pm. Tickets may be ordered online at www.theatreaquarius.org or by calling the box office at 905.522.7529 (toll free 1.800.465.7529), or in person at the Dofasco Centre for the Arts, 190 King William Street, Hamilton.
