Misery
Two-time Emmy® Award and Golden Globe Award® winner Bruce Willis makes his Broadway debut alongside three-time Emmy® award winner Laurie Metcalf in this Broadway play based on the Stephen King book of the same name. Following a near-fatal car accident, a world-famous novelist finds himself in a strange house being nursed back to health by his doting, self-proclaimed Number One Fan. But as her love for his work turns to dangerous obsession, he realizes he must plot his greatest story yet: how to escape with his life. Cast members Laurie Metcalf and Leon Addison Brown stopped by the Google NYC along with creatives Will Frears (director), Michael Friedman (Music/Sound Designer) and Mark Kaufman (Executive VP, Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures).
Will Frears
Will Frears was born and raised in North London, and has lived in the U.S. since 1990. A director, scriptwriter and author, Frears had his professional debut in 2003 at the Actor's Theater of Louisville, where he directed the Pulitzer Prize finalist, Omnium Gatherum. The play-about a post-9/11 dinner party-was praised by The New Yorker's drama critic John Lahr, as "a wow beginning" for the young director.
