About the Show
Paul Sheldon is a very successful romance novelist who finds himself recovering in the
secluded home of his “number one fan”, Annie Wilkes after she rescues him from a near
fatal car crash. While Paul is on the mend, Annie insists she must proof read Paul’s
latest book and becomes blind with rage when it is revealed Mr. Sheldon has killed off
Annie’s favorite character, Misery Chastain. Paul is held captive and forced to write a
new Misery novel as if his life depends on it…and it does. Based on the thriller by
Stephen King!
“There are no lulls in famed screenwriter William Goldman’s 90-minute stage adaptation
of the Stephen King story, which Goldman himself translated into the 1990 film…
Exposition that took a dozen pages in paperback and at least several minutes on screen
plays out…faster than snow piling up in a Colorado blizzard.” —NBC New York.
