"Dirk Maggs' new radio version of Stephen King's Misery, based on Simon Moore's successful stage adaptation, made gripping listening. I was held in thrall by Marion Nancarrow's production, fine-tuned for maximum tension of the familiar story, with Nicholas Farrell moving with ease from sycophancy to desperation as the writer held prisoner by the lunatic fan played by Miriam Margolyes, showing her breathtaking range in a psychotic performance." - -from the review in The Stage, 27 September 2004
“Paul Sheldon, a writer of historical romances, is in a car accident;
rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes, he slowly realizes that salvation can be
worse than death. Sheldon has killed off Misery Chastain, the popular
protagonist of his Misery series and Annie, who has a murderous past,
wants her back.”
