About the event

Misery
Stephen King’s heart-stopping thriller explodes on stage in a gripping clash of wills between a celebrated author and his “number one fan” September 12-21 at Prairie Players Civic Theatre.

This stage adaptation of Stephen King’s bestselling novel, written by William Goldman and directed by Jaynee Bowker, follows acclaimed novelist Paul Sheldon (played by James Hutchings), who finds himself at the mercy of Annie Wilkes (Emily Trulson) after a car crash leaves him stranded in a remote cabin. At first, she appears to be a kind and devoted caretaker—but as Paul recovers, he realizes Annie has no intention of letting him leave. As he fights to survive her escalating obsession, local sheriff, Buster (Collin Sevigny), begins to suspect something isn’t right and sets out to uncover the truth. Tense, thrilling, and darkly compelling, Misery keeps audiences on the edge of their seats until the final, shocking moment.

Performances are Friday, September 12 and 19, and Saturday, September 13 and 20, at 7:30 pm and Sunday, September 14 and 21, at 2 pm at Prairie Players Civic Theatre, 160 S. Seminary Street, Galesburg. Tickets are $16 for adults and $10 for students (plus online processing fees).

Performances are possible thanks to support from Tri States Public Radio and the Illinois Arts Council.
