This stunning adaptation of the Stephen King classic will keep you on the edge of your seat! Famous author Paul Sheldon has
just finished another romance novel about the beautiful heroine, Misery Chastain. But while driving in a snowstorm while slightly
inebriated, Paul’s car goes off the road leaving the only copy of the manuscript and its author trapped inside. Lucky for him,
Paul is rescued by former nurse, Annie Wilkes, his “number one fan.” When he awakes, he finds himself in an old farmhouse
cut off from the rest of the world. His crushed legs and excruciating pain make him a prisoner to Annie who insists that she will
nurse him back to health, but refuses to tell anyone his whereabouts. To make matters worse, this schizophrenic fan is not
happy with Paul’s latest novel. She makes him burn it and start over, propelling Paul into a living hell. Like Scheherazade in The
Arabian Nights, Paul weaves a new story chapter-by-chapter, in order to survive. Does he make it? 

Stephen King drew from personal experience for Misery when his own fame was on he rise. He posed for a Polaroid photo
with a man who described himself as King’s “number one fan.” Sometime later, this fan made front-page news as Mark
Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon after asking for his autograph. Misery  became King’s response to the invasion of
life on the rise to fame. It was also hailed by critics as King’s masterpiece. When it was adapted for the stage by British
writer-director Simon Moore, it achieved even more critical praise: “To make an audience gasp and laugh at the same instant is
quite an achievement…this is a compellingly cruel thriller.” (Daily Mail).
