(MANASQUAN, NJ) -- Algonquin Arts Theatre is presenting Misery by William Goldman, based on the novel by Stephen King, now through March 3, 2024. Made popular by the Kathy Bates, James Caan film, Misery becomes stranger than fiction when an acclaimed romance novelist wakes up in the home of his "Number One Fan." Photographer John Posada was on hand to take photos.
Rescued from a wintery car crash, Paul Sheldon finds himself incapacitated in the secluded home of Annie Wilkes, a seemingly kind nurse. When events take a nightmarish turn, the injured Paul realizes the unhinged Annie has no intention of letting him leave. Based on Stephen King's best-selling novel, the tense cat-and-mouse game will grip you until the very end.
The cast for Misery includes: Pamela Wilterdink (Annie), Lex Friedman (Paul), and Mile D’Altrui (Buster).
This show contains violence and limited use of strong language. The theatre encourages you to use your judgment based on your child's age and maturity level.
