From the regions number one producers that brought Dubai the sell out hits The Women In Black and The Sound Of Music and from the pen of the master of horror, Stephen King (The Shining, Green Mile & The Shawshank Redemption) - one of the best loved and most successful writers of our time, comes the critically acclaimed stage version of MISERY.

Paul Sheldon, world famous author of the "Misery Chastaine" romance novels, is crippled in a terrible car wreck. Instead of waking up in hospital he comes to in a dilapidated farmhouse, isolated from the outside world by a blizzard, occupied by the schizophrenic Annie, his "Number One Fan". When Annie reads his new novel where her beloved Misery is killed during childbirth, she forces him to destroy the manuscript and write another. Imprisoned in the house, Paul finds that Annie is not the angel of mercy she first appeared to be and finds that he has entered a kind of hell beyond anything he might have imagined. Trapped in the middle of no-where with no-one coming to his aid, it’s a terrifying race against time for his survival.

Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Simon Moore from Stephen King’s best selling novel, MISERY is a wonderfully dramatic and chilling show.

Starring two of the UK’s top actors, TV and West End stars Darren Day (Hollyoaks, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here) and Yvonne O'Grady (Coronation Street/London's Burning) this legendary story, made famous by the blockbuster Oscar winning movie version is a theatrical event not to be missed.
