Lyrics by Tim Rice
Based on ‘Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats’ by T.S. Elliot
True life becomes stranger than fiction when an acclaimed romance novelist wakes up in the home of his “number one fan.” Rescued from a wintery car crash, Sheldon finds himself incapacitated and convalescing in the secluded home of Annie Wilkes, a seemingly kind nurse. When events take a nightmarish turn, the injured Paul realizes the unhinged Annie has no intention of letting him leave. This spine-tingling, nail-biting stage adaptation traps you in the room with Paul as the story spins out of control. Based on Stephen King’s acclaimed, best-selling novel, the tense cat-and-mouse game will grip you until the very end.
Weaving a spell with emotional, inspirational and expressive poetry, this award-winning writer and spoken-word artist mesmerizes audiences with his unabashed heart, raw energy and profound truths.
