Based on the acclaimed novel by Stephen King, Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan”, Annie, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. The suspense is nailbiting and the story spins out of control as Paul must write a new novel as if his life depends on it…and it does! “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.
