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.

THE HEAD OF PEARL BRYAN Runs Nov. 3-4

FT_The Head of Pearl BryanTHE HEAD OF PEARL BRYAN
Falcon Theatre
Nov. 3-4
[Newport]

Written by Paul Strickland & Erika Kate MacDonald
Directed by Clint Ibele

Cast: Eileen Earnest & Tony Newton

Everyone knows the story of Pearl Bryan – or do we? Surprisingly, this notorious and mysterious tale of the murder of a young woman in 1896 in Ft Thomas still manages to baffle both the casual as well as professional historian to this day, especially because her head was never found. Countless books and murder ballads about the victim, her murderers, their trial in Newport, and the people who were drawn into what was once described as “the crime of the century”, as well as theories of what became of her head, abound.

  • Fri, Nov. 3 at 8pm
  • Sat, Nov. 4 at 4pm & 8pm
