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?
