The next production of the 2025 season for the Vermillion Players will be Misery, directed by Angie McKenzie. Show dates will be April 10th through the 13th and the production will be held at The Eagle Theater. Stay tuned for more updates to come soon!
Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is convalescing, Annie reads 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 anywhere. The irate Annie has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.
