Directed by Dane Rogers & Sarah Louise Rogers

This psychological thriller based on Stephen King’s novel Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash and wakes up captive in a secluded home owned by his self-identified “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads the manuscript of his latest book 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. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it – and it does.

Cast Requirements

Annie Wilkes

Female Presenting, Age 30s–50s, any race
Annie seems to be a kind, tender woman who cares deeply for Paul, even if she does seem slightly off — but it becomes clearer that she is manipulative, cunning, and hides a deep-set and terrifying malice behind her cheery simple façade.

Paul Sheldon

Male Presenting, Age 30s–Early 60s, any race
He’s thoughtful, if not a touch arrogant, and extremely crafty. He quickly realizes how dangerous his situation is and must use anything and everything at his disposal to survive.

Buster

Male Presenting, Age 30s–60s, any race
The Sheriff of a nearby town searching for Paul. Very friendly with possible hopes of something more with Annie.
