DeLois "Cookie" House and Wayne Kreuscher in the play "Misery."Great Acting In "Misery"
A high level of professional acting was very evident in the recent Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop presentation of Stephen King's original book "Misery."
This play portrays a dark and compelling story of good verses evil by Stephen King. The play was stage-adapted by Simon Moore, followed by a 1990 movie version featuring James Caan and Kathy Bates which resulted in an Oscar-winning performance.
Adapted for the stage by Simon Moore and directed by Sally Gladden this thriller in two acts consisted of only two cast members, DeLois "Cookie" House and Wayne Kreuscher.
The story line is about a popular writer who had an automobile accident and falls into the clutches of a psychotic fan.
The writer suffered a broken leg and was kept prisoner in the psychotic fans back bedroom.
Kreuscher played the part of the author Paul Sheldon and "Cookie" House was the psychotic fan Annie Wilkes.
It took two very outstanding performers to portray the parts they were selected for..... one could feel the pain Sheldon was suffering and could also see how delirious he got as the prisoner of Wilkes.
"Cookie" House took her acting ability to another level by being able to change so quickly from a loving nurse to a half-crazed woman who eventually chopped off Sheldon's leg with an axe.
The play was truly successful and more then succeed in carrying out Stephen King's
bizarre reputation.
Kudos to both Kreuscher and House and the entire "crew" of the Sullivan County Dramatic Workshop.
