TheatreWorks New Milford Presents Staged Reading of MISERY, 10/22

TheatreWorks New Milford will present a free staged reading of Stephen King's Misery by playwright Simon Moore on October 22 at 8:00 pm at the Theatre, 5 Brookside Ave, in New Milford. The reading will be followed by a wine and cheese reception.

Misery is a roller coaster ride into the darkness and torment of obsession. Audiences can expect the unexpected in this compellingly cruel thriller. After an auto accident, best-selling romance novelist, Paul Sheldon, is lucky to be alive. Or is he? This stunning stage adaptation of Stephen King's masterpiece is a true nail-biting suspense thriller. The story is well-known for the 1990 screen version starring James Caan and Kathy Bates, which garnered Ms. Bates an Academy Award for her role as Mr. Sheldon's "Number 1 Fan," Annie Wilkes.

Misery is under the direction of Jackie Decho-Holm of New Milford with a cast including Vicki Sosbe (New Milford), and Jonathan and KC Ross (both Thomaston).

The event is free, but reservations must be made by calling (860) 350-6863
or by visiting the website at www.theatreworks.us. TheatreWorks is an award-winning, professional non-Equity theatre company located on 5 Brookside Avenue, just off Route 202, in New Milford, CT.
