Description: After a car crash, romance novelist Paul Sheldon finds himself trapped in a secluded cabin under the car of Annie Wilkes. How will Annie, his self-proclaimed 'number one fan,' react when she learns her favorite character has been killed off in his unreleased manuscript? And will Paul survive to write again?

Character breakdown:

Annie Wilkes (she/her) - This role has been cast.

Paul Sheldon (he/him) - 40s-50s - author, held captive by Annie after a car crash. Mostly bedridden, this role does require some physical agility (crawling, falling out of bed, etc.)

Buster (he/him) - 40s-60s - the local sheriff who comes looking for Sheldon after finding his car near Annie’s house.
