Stephen King’s heart-stopping thriller comes to life on stage September 12–21 at Prairie Players Civic Theatre. Acclaimed novelist Paul Sheldon (James Hutchings) finds himself trapped in the home of his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes (Emily Trulson), while Sheriff Buster (Collin Sevigny) begins to suspect something is terribly wrong. Tense and gripping, Misery will keep you on the edge of your seat. Recommended for mature audiences due to intense content.
