Episode 920: Shining in Misery - A Stephen King Sized Parody!

Nick is joined by composer (and friend of the podcast) Andy Abrams and director Gary Lloyd to talk all things Shining in Misery, following its UK premiere at The Other Palace as part of MT Fest. They dive deep into the creation of the show — from its musical styles and theatrical influences to the challenges of adapting such a psychologically charged story for the stage. Andy and Gary unpack how the piece evolved, how tone and atmosphere were shaped through music and direction, and what it's like collaborating on a brand-new musical with such a dark, distinctive voice. And of course, there's the question everyone wants answered… does Stephen King himself know about the show?
