Synopsis
Buckle up for a thrilling ride in this darkly comedic, edge-of-your-seat adaptation of Stephen King’s Misery! Bestselling author Paul Sheldon thinks he’s lucky to be rescued after a car crash—until he meets his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes. What starts as care, quickly turns into captivity as Annie demands a new ending to his latest novel… or else!
Content Advisory: Misery contains strong language, intense psychological suspense, and scenes of violence. Some moments may be disturbing. This production is recommended for mature audiences.
