Brace Yourself for a Thrilling Night of Theater - MISERY by William Goldman

From the masterful mind of Stephen King comes a chilling stage adaptation that will have you on the edge of your seat. MISERY, based on King’s iconic novel and adapted by William Goldman, delivers a dark and gripping psychological thriller that explores obsession, captivity, and survival.

When celebrated author Paul Sheldon wakes up in a secluded home after a near-fatal car crash, he’s in the care of his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes. But admiration quickly spirals into terrifying control, and Paul soon realizes that Annie never intends to let him go.

This spine-tingling production is performed by dedicated volunteer actors, giving their time, passion, and talent to bring this intense story to life with raw emotion and razor-sharp suspense. Your attendance does more than witness a riveting performance—it supports local artistry and encourages these committed performers with every gasp, lean-forward, and round of applause.

If you love theater that grips you from the first moment and doesn’t let go—this is your show. Seating is limited—don’t wait to secure your tickets for this unforgettable theatrical experience.

Original Broadway production produced by Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures in association with Castle Rock Entertainment, Liz Glotzer, Mark Kaufman, Martin Shafer, Raymond Wu. World Premiere produced at Bucks County Playhouse, New Hope, PA (Jared Bernstein, Producing Director)
