American playwright, Jennifer Haley’s award winning play The Nether, is brought to the brand new The Hope Street Theatre, the former Masonic Hall on Hope Street as part of they’re official launch month this September.

Set in the year 2050, The Nether is a virtual wonderland that 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 the imagination.

The Nether is directed by Young Everyman Playhouse Director Sarah Van Parys and produced by Young Everyman Playhouse Producer Nancy Msiska. Sarah graduated from the Directing programme in 2015 and has been producing theatre across the North West since. She is currently Assistant Director on Genesis Inc at the Hampstead Theatre in London before returning to Liverpool to start rehearsals for The Nether. Nancy has recently Produced Anton Checkhov’s The Bear, and Sandi Toksvig’s Billy Boy as part of the Young Everyman Directors Festival.

Falling Doors Theatre was set up in 2014 to work primarily with local actors and writers developing and staging both new writing and thrilling. The Nether is the 4th play to be staged by Falling Doors Theatre following its successful and sold out run of Committed at The Blade Factory in March, Taking Care of Baby as part of the Liverpool Fringe Festival, and a return of Committed as part of the Liverpool Irish Festival later in the year.
