Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool

14th June - 5th July 2008

An accident. Car rolls. Broken bones and flashing lights. Hope. Misery.

Paul Sheldon, famous author of the "Misery Chastain" books, awakes following a car accident in a bed he doesn't recognise. Annie Wilkes, who lives alone in the hill, was on hand to rescue him fom the wreckage and tend to his wounds. All that she asks in return is that he saves the life of one of his fictional characters. She can be very persuasive...

Written by Stephen King in 1987 and turned into a film with James Caan and Kathy Bates in 1990, Misery is one of the greatest thrillers in any medium. Andrew Schofield (Brick Up, Lost Soul, Good Golly Miss Molly) is back in the Court in the Paul Sheldon role. Join him for a thrilling evening of theatre that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the night.
