On a dark and desolate snowy night, successful romance novelist, Paul, crashes his car into a snowbank and is rescued by his “number one fan,” Annie, who brings the unconscious Paul back to her isolated home. While Paul recovers, Annie reads an unpublished manuscript of his latest novel and becomes distraught when she learns that the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Holding him hostage, Annie forces Paul to write a new novel where Misery survives, and he wonders if Annie has any intention of ever letting him go. When loneliness confuses fictional characters for beloved friends, and passion leads to distortion, can either of them survive the misery?

• A standby ticket does not guarantee that you will be admitted into the theater or that your entire party will be admitted.
• Standby tickets are admitted on a first purchased, first served basis.
• Standby tickets do not guarantee that we will be able to sit your entire party together.
• If you purchase a standby ticket, you must be present in the lobby 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of your performance.
• If you are not admitted into the theatre, we will exchange your tickets for another performance or issue the purchaser a refund.
