Misery

presented by the mesquite arts theater

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, but quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go after he does. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it… and it does.
