    Horror writer Stephen King took a trip to Broadway to see the stage adaptation of his 1987 novel "Misery" and became part of the show.

    "King tried to sneak into the Broadhurst Theatre before the curtain rose on the smash hit production of his worldwide sensation 'Misery,' starring Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf, (and) he was greeted by a sold out audience with thunderous applause," we're told.

    And it turns out King has a sense of humor.

    "King snuck backstage to greet Willis and Metcalf, exclaiming his famous words 'I'm your #1 fan'!" said an onlooker, referencing the famous line from the show that's said by the obsessed romance novel fan, Annie Wilkes who holds her favorite author, Paul Sheldon captive. King also complimented on their performance.

    "You give great Annie and you give great Paul, and I hope you'll be very happy together," he said to Metcalf and Willis, joking "It's nice to see that you two are still friends."

    (Spoiler alert: Annie and Paul share an unhealthy relationship in the play.)

    King told fans backstage that he came down from Maine for the weekend just to see "Misery" on stage before it closes on Valentine's Day. We're told King also regaled the actors with is recollections from writing the horror novel, which also became a 1999 movie, and told them he loved their interpretation of the story's pivotal "hobbling scene."

    Penobscot Theatre Company will present William Goldman's chilling dramatization of Stephen King's Misery, a Maine premiere. The production will run October 12 through November 5 at the Bangor Opera House, in the heart of Stephen King's hometown.

    "Stephen King has more #1 Fans per capita in Bangor than anywhere in the world," said Producing Artistic Director Bari Newport, "including everyone in this company, so we're honor-bound to bring this classic to life in fully satisfying fashion. It will be miserable alright, and our audience is going to love it!"

    First published in 1987, Misery tells the story of best-selling author Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by his self-proclaimed "number one fan" Annie Wilkes. Annie secrets him away in her remote home and attends to his injuries, but when she discovers a plot twist in Sheldon's latest romance novel, things take a dark turn and Paul finds himself writing as if his life were dependent on it. And it is.

    William Goldman penned the screenplay for the 1990 film adaptation starring Kathy Bates, who earned an Oscar as Annie; and he scripted this play, which ran on Broadway in 2015, starring Bruce Willis and Laurie Metcalf. Though other scripts have circulated, Goldman's attracted Newport's attention as it holds faithfully to King's story. "In Bangor, we deeply appreciate Stephen King as a philanthropist and community leader, but above all, he's a writer! No one creates characters, establishes sense of place and builds tension like King. He's the master."

    Newport is directing the Penobscot Theatre Company production, assisted by Ben Layman who is also cast in the role of the unlucky sheriff. Regional powerhouses AJ Mooney of Bangor and James Konicek (AEA) of Washington, DC. are playing Annie and Paul. Mooney was last seen on the Penobscot Theatre Company stage in the transformative performance of Estelle in The Full Monty. In addition to his extensive credits at leading theatres in and around the Capitol, Konicek is well known for his voice work. He is featured in the popular video game Fallout 4 and the 2015 documentary Last Days of the Nazis.

    To create Annie's world and accomplish the advanced technical feats required of this psychological horror thriller, Newport has assembled a top-notch team including stage manager Adrienne Wells (AEA), Tricia Hobbs (scenic design), Scout Hough (lighting design), Ben Wetzel and Belinda Hobbs (props design), Katie Guzzi (sound design), fight choreographer Angela Bonacasa and special effects expert Eric Anderson.

    Show tickets are available online at www.penobscottheatre.org or through the box office, located at 131 Main Street, Bangor; (207) 942-3333.

    As a special offering for Stephen King's other Number One Fans, Penobscot Theatre Company will auction three first-edition copies of Misery, the novel, autographed by the author. Each will be auctioned separately, one following the 5:00 pm Opening Night performance, October 14; one following the 3:00 pm performance, October 15; and one following the final performance, 3 pm, November 5. Bidding will start at $250, and the auction will be open to both ticket holders, and members of the public who wish to bid in person. Collectors who are unable to participate in person may place an absentee bid up until Friday, October 13 at 5:00 pm for the first two auctions, and Saturday, November 4 at 5:00pm for the Final Auction. Contact Gerald Winters for details about absentee bidding atgw@geraldwinters.com.

    Penobscot Theatre Company is America's Northeastern-most professional, year round theatre company, owners of the historic Bangor Opera House,a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, producing a wide variety of plays and musicals each season.

    The Des Moines Community Playhouse presents the suspense-filled "Misery," Jan. 26-Feb. 11, 2018. Tickets may be purchased online at dmplayhouse.com, by phone at 515-277-6261, or at the Playhouse ticket office, 831 42nd St. "Misery" is sponsored by Edward Jones.

    A horrible automobile accident nearly claims best-selling author Paul Sheldon's (Micheal Davenport) life. Luckily, his number one fan, Annie (Preshia Paulding), is there to save him and nurse him. It doesn't take long, however, for Paul to realize he is living a nightmare. Completely at Annie's mercy, he's unsure if he'll make it out alive after all. Based on the novel by Stephen King, "Misery" will have audiences on the edges of their seats.

    The Playhouse cast is directed by John Viars. The cast also includes Michael Meacham as Buster.

    The Playhouse is one of the oldest and largest community theatres in the US. Located at the 42nd Street exit of I-235, the theatre has presented a full season of shows since 1919 and also offers a wide variety of educational experiences including classes for ages 4 to adult, theatre trips to New York, and volunteer opportunities onstage and backstage.
