Misery Reviews

The Boston Globe - Highly Recommended

"... Let’s begin with a declarative sentence: Karen MacDonald delivers one of the best performances of her career in the Merrimack Repertory Theatre production of “Misery,” William Goldman’s stage adaptation of Stephen King’s novel."

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...Karen MacDonald and Tom Coiner do a wonderful job of animating William Goldman’s stage adaptation of Stephen King’s intriguing, twisty novel by the same title. Best-selling novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued by Annie Wilkes, his self-described number 1 fan, following a car accident during a Colorado blizzard. In the wake of the storm, roads are closed and phone lines are down, so Wilkes, a nurse, takes Sheldon back to her farmhouse to recuperate. At first, the situation seems ideal: Sheldon receives excellent physical care for his injuries along with unending praise for his writing."
