When writer Paul Sheldon kills off the main character of his successful novel series "Misery," he wants to dedicate himself to more demanding literature. But hardly has he completed a new, more profound book when he has an accident on an icy road in the Colorado mountains and becomes trapped in his car. Nurse Annie finds him, frees him from the wreckage while he is severely injured, and takes him to her remote farm to care for him.

It turns out that Annie is Paul's biggest fan and loves the character Misery above all else. That she had to die in the last novel is something she cannot accept, and she devises a plan. With brutal violence, she forces the helpless Paul to write another installment and bring Misery back to life. A game of mutual dependencies escalates further and further. Paul realizes that he must plan his greatest story yet: how to escape with his life.

In 1990, Stephen King's bestseller "Misery" was successfully adapted into a film starring Kathy Bates and James Caan. The screenplay was written by Oscar winner William Goldman, who also authored the stage play. It premiered on Broadway in 2015.

"It’s rarely loud. This is exquisite conversational theater. For now. It may be that some might think beforehand: Why did they need Katharina Wiedenhofer to choreograph a fight scene? Afterwards, you won’t think that anymore. Katharina Wiedenhofer has done a superb job." Standing ovations, also not a given in the Stalburg." (Judith von Sternburg, Frankfurter Rundschau)

Doors open at 7 PM.
