The ultimate fan. The ultimate nightmare. William Goldman's stage adaptation locks the audience into a high-stakes game of survival.
This psychological thriller based on Stephen King’s novel Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash and wakes up captive in a secluded home owned by his self-identified “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript of his latest book and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new Misery novel and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go. Paul is writing as if his life depends on it – and it does.
 Show Warning: Please be aware that this production contains stage violence and gore, simulated gunshots, strobing light effects, psychological horror, and strong language. Recommended for patrons 16 and older.
