misery

by Williams Goldman
Based on the novel by Stephen King
Rehearsal Start Date (Full Company): March 18 2026
Opening: April 10, 2026
Closing: April 26, 2026
Venue: Performed indoors at the new Wolf Den - Downtown in Lynchburg
Performance Dates: April 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25, and 26, 2026
(Note: April 11, 18, and 25 are two show days)

Characters: This is a very physical show.

ANNIE WILKES (Female, 40s-60s)- An isolated, lonely nurse who comes to the apparent rescue of her favorite author, Paul Sheldon, after a car crash. At first, Annie appears to be a kind and dutiful caretaker, nursing Paul back to health in the seclusion of the rural Wilkes Farm. As Paul gets to know Annie, it becomes clear that Annie is manipulative, calculating, and is capable of masking her true inner evil. This role requires significant physicality, including lifting/assisting another adult and exerting effort during dialogue-heavy scenes.

PAUL SHELDON (Male, Late 30s-Late 60s)- A celebrated romance novelist determined to leave behind his most famous character and series. Returning from what was meant to be his final writing retreat, Paul is severely injured in a car accident that leaves him bedridden and dependent on his self-proclaimed “number on fan,” Annie Wilkes. Intelligent and resourceful, Paul must rely on his wit, resilience, and sheer willpower to outmaneuver Annie and fight for his survival. The role requires significant physicality, including using upper body strength to move one’s own body weight and exerting effort during dialogue-heavy scenes.

BUSTER (Male, Late 30s-Late 60s)- The well-meaning sheriff of Silver Creek, investigating Paul’s disappearance after discovering his abandoned car in the snow. Buster is warm, approachable, and disarmingly friendly— sometimes to a fault. His good nature and small-town charm make him an easy presence, though his amiability may blind him to the danger lurking closer than he realizes. This track will understudy the role of Paul.

Wolfbane Productions prides itself on consistently bridging the theatre worlds of New York City and Appomattox, Virginia.  Over the past 16 years we've welcomed actors to the Pack from all over the country. We've been thrilled to work with Broadway, television, film & national-tour veterans, introducing them to Virginia's breath-taking natural beauty and to the thriving community of Wolfbane audiences: some of the most lively and passionate audiences you'll find anywhere in modern theatre. 

Wolfbane is also proud to have been the gateway, for over a dozen artists from our Virginia base, to make the transition to New York City via connections made with the Wolfbane family. 

We are inspired by this tradition of blending our NYC and VA homes as we continue to cast from auditions held in both states, as well as allowing for video submissions for those who are unable to attend.
