Misery

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. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it – and it does.

Misery premiered on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre on October 22, 2015. Directed by Will Frears, the production featured Laurie Metcalf as Annie Wilkes and Bruce Willis in his Broadway debut as Paul Sheldon. Metcalf received a Tony nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her performance.
