BWW TV Exclusive: MISERY MANUSCRIPT SERIES: Scenic Design with David Korins

From adaptation, to scenic design, music and interpretation, the MISERY MANUSCRIPT SERIES takes audiences behind the scenes for an inside look at how the thriller was brought to life (and death) on stage. From best-selling novel to award-winning movie and now Broadway, watch as scenic designer David Korins discusses creating the world of Misery.

Broadway's new suspense thriller Misery, starring two-time Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe Award winner Bruce Willis and three-time Emmy Award winner Laurie Metcalf and written by two-time Academy Award winner William Goldman, opened last night, Sunday, November 15, 2015, in a strictly limited 16-week engagement.

Successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon (Bruce Willis) is rescued from a car crash by his "Number One Fan," Annie Wilkes (Laurie Metcalf), and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript to his newest novel and becomes enraged when she discovers the author has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new "Misery" novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and if he does not make her deadline, it will.
