Galveston College Theatre presents ‘Misery’

What happens when a fan’s obsession turns into a nightmare? The Galveston College Theatre Department invites audiences to experience the chilling suspense of “Misery,” written by William Goldman and based on the acclaimed novel by Stephen King, Nov. 12-15 at the college’s main campus Black Box Theatre.

The production is free and open to the public. The GC Black Box Theatre is located on the second floor of the college’s Fine Arts Building (FA-207).

This gripping theatrical production promises an unforgettable journey into a world where admiration becomes obsession, captivity becomes a battle of wills, and every moment could be a matter of life or death.

When successful novelist Paul Sheldon finds himself injured and isolated after a devastating accident, he believes he is fortunate to be rescued by Annie Wilkes, a devoted fan of his work. But his relief quickly turns to terror as he discovers that Annie’s devotion comes with a dangerous price. Trapped in her remote home and at the mercy of her increasingly unpredictable behavior, Paul must summon every ounce of courage and ingenuity to survive. As the tension escalates, audiences will be drawn into a psychological game of control, fear and desperation where no one is truly safe.

With its intense suspense, unforgettable characters, and gripping twists, Misery delivers the kind of theatrical experience that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats. The GC Theatre Department brings this powerful story to life in a production that explores the dark side of obsession and the terrifying consequences of unchecked devotion.

Performance dates and times:

• Nov. 12–14 at 7 p.m.
