Misery by William Goldman: Peninsula Players Theatre
July 13 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
A captivating thriller that grips you until the very end.
After a car accident, successful novelist Paul Sheldon wakes up in the home of Annie Wilkes, his “number one fan.” Discovering that Paul has killed off her favorite character (Misery Chastain), Annie tries to coax him into writing a new novel to bring her back. Frightened he may be more prisoner than patient, Paul writes as if his life depends on it – and perhaps it does.
