"... this is a theatrical shock-horror comedie noire..." Daily Mail

Read what our TM Insiders had to say about Misery!
This theatre experience was painful. The two cast members were previously in a show called DEAD CERTAIN and they kind of played the same characters except the wheelchair roles were reversed. This might have been the first night it played and there are, to say the least MANY kinks to work out technically. Hopefully it will get better, but it didnt hold any thrill or suspense for me - if you go, get an aisle seat just in case. The whole behind me got up and left.
