Misery

Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from
a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her
secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads his latest book and
becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite
character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new Misery novel, and
he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere. The
irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.

“There are no lulls in famed screenwriter William Goldman’s 90-minute stage
adaptation of the Stephen King story, which Goldman himself translated into the
1990 film… Exposition that took a dozen pages in paperback and at least several
minutes on screen plays out…faster than snow piling up in a Colorado blizzard.” —
