Moreno seems to be in tune with British writerSimonMoore, whose 1992 stage adaptation of Misery Moreno is directing for its North Texas premiere at Circle Theatre.
For Moore, who directed the original London production that starred Sharon Gless as Annie, looking more closely at the relationship between the writer and his fan became more important than exploiting the horror of it all, which is what happened in Rob Reiner's 1990 acclaimed movie version that earned Kathy Bates an Oscar.
Moore says other fans of King's work will be appreciative of how faithful the play is to the novel.
