Stephen King's Misery Opens at Stageworks on June 9
Stephen King's "Misery" opens at Stageworks on June 9.
"Misery" follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads 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 anywhere. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.
This production of "Misery" is directed by Lisa Garza, with Michael Montgomery as artistic director/producer and John Harbour as technical director/lighting design. Performances will be held at Garza Mainstage from June 9 through June 25.
​Parental guidance suggested for ages 13 and below due to intense adult situations. For specific details, email Stageworks' artistic director.
