         Misery         Threesome         Up On the Roof

Misery

Synopsis:
Best selling romantic fiction novelist Paul Sheldon retires each winter to the snow-covered hills of Colorado to write another work featuring his beautiful heroine Misery Chastain. Driving whilst inebriated, he encounters severe weather and his car goes off the road. Instead of awakening in hospital he comes to in a filthy, dilapidated farmhouse, isolated from the outside world by the blizzard, occupied by the schizophrenic Annie, his Number One Fan'. She insists she will nurse him, refusing to tell anyone his whereabouts. His crushed legs mean he is virtually a prisoner, dependant on Annie for pain relief. When she discovers his new novel does not feature Misery, she forces him to destroy the manuscript and write another. Thus begins Paul's descent into a living hell. Annie withholds pain relief, inflicts humiliation and degradation, forcing Paul, like Scheherazade, to write a new chapter every day simply to stay alive.

Up On the Roof

Synopsis:
Up On the Roof is a poignant and affectionate musical comedy which celebrates the enduring power of friendship. It is 1975 and five students at Hull University are up on the roof of their student digs for the last meeting of the Roof Club' - their a capElla singing group who perform doo-wop covers of Motown and soul classics. In between the songs they reveal their hopes, dreams and aspirations for the lives they are about to embark upon. the next ten years sees how their individual journeys, successes and failures, are reflected in the changing relationships within this tight knit group of friends. Whatever the tensions within the group, they disappear whenever they sing - and they always sing, any time, any place, anywhere, from Band of Gold to What Becomes of the Brokenhearted and Never Can Say Goodbye to Lean On Me and of course their signature tune Up On the Roof.
