We recently saw Misery, the stage adaptation of the film with Kathy Bates and James Caan. Instead of the gradual realization of the evil of Annie Wilkes, the character was shown as evil from the very beginning. The acting was fine, by two of Canada's best actors, but the fault lay in the stage adaptation.

Just a straight forward comedic play. It wouldn't be very classy, but it'd work under the criteria. Maybe add a few elements from the sequel to lengthen it and give it some depth. That's right, I said depth.
