Based on Stephen King’s suspense-filled novel, true life becomes stranger than fiction when a novelist is held captive by his “Number One Fan.”
True life becomes stranger than fiction when an acclaimed romance novelist wakes up in the home of his “Number One Fan.” Rescued from a wintery car crash, Paul Sheldon finds himself incapacitated in the secluded home of Annie Wilkes, a seemingly kind nurse. When events take a nightmarish turn, the injured Paul realizes the unhinged Annie has no intention of letting him leave. This spine-tingling stage adaptation traps you in the room with Paul as he must outsmart Annie if he hopes to escape. Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel, the tense cat-and-mouse game will grip you until the very end.
“An old-fashioned chiller … the gasps and the giggles are deliciously jumbled together.” — NJ.com
