Annie Wilkes, Sheldon's number one fan, rescues the author from the scene of a car accident. The former nurse takes care of him in her remote house, but becomes irate when she discovers that the author has killed Misery off in his latest book. Annie keeps Sheldon prisoner while forcing him to write a book that brings Misery back to life.

"Misery" is based on the novel by Stephen King. The 1990 film, also adapted by William Goldman, starred James Caan & Kathy Bates. The play had its World Premiere at the Bucks County Playhouse in the Fall of 2012...
