Misery

Sunday, February 25, 2024 @ 3:00pm



Algonquin Arts Theatre
60 Abe Voorhees, Manasquan, NJ 08736

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." 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.

This show contains violence and limited use of strong language. We encourage you to use your judgment based on your child's age and maturity level.

Run Time: Approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes including one 15-minute intermission.

No children under the age of 4 except for Education Series performances. No babes in arms.
