Through Feb. 25: Theatre presents ‘The Nether’

The UND Department of Theatre Arts presents The Nether Feb. 21-25 at 7:30 p.m. nightly in the Burtness Laboratory Theater.

Written by Jennifer Haley, The Nether confronts us with the potential consequences of virtual realities in the not-so-distant future. Winner of the 2012 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, The Nether is a science-fiction crime drama in which the characters come face to face with the dilemmas that arise when people are allowed to enact their most private fantasies. The twists and turns in this dark journey will keep the audience on the edge of their seats and discussing the implications long after the lights come up.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students; call the box office at 701.777.2587.
