On the Town

MISERY LOVES COMPANY

Stephen King’s novel, Misery, comes to the stage at Yellow Tree Theatre.

FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY a dose of Stephen King, Misery is set to be performed from February 24–March 26 at the Yellow Tree Theatre.

This production tells a chilling tale of kidnapping and is based on one of Stephen King’s novels. The story surrounds romance novelist, Paul, who suddenly finds himself in a car crash and is “rescued” by one of his most ardent fans.

While he is recovering in her home, his fan reads his latest book and becomes infuriated when she realizes he killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. The author finds himself trapped and forced to write a new book in order to save his life.

Content Warning: violence and language. Prices and times vary. Yellow Tree Theatre, 320 Fifth Ave. SE, Osseo; 763.493.8733; yellowtreetheatre.com
