‘The Nether’ at Kirk Douglas Theatre

Imagine the most totalizing, endlessly compelling entertainment imaginable — would it be your greatest fantasy or darkest fear? “The Nether,” a new play by Jennifer Haley, plays out like “Infinite Jest” as a crime drama, as well as a bit of a sci-fi experiment, given the immediacy of the stage. Neel Keller directed. Kirk Douglas Theatre, 9820 Washington Blvd., Culver City. Today-April 14, times and prices vary. centertheatregroup.org.
