Go out of curiosity or for its familiarity. Go for a fun night out or to support a high-quality local theater company. Regardless of your motivations, Miners Alley’s production of “Misery” delivers on its fair share of dark pleasures. Warren Sherrill directs his ace ensemble — Emma Messenger, Torsten Hillhouse and Mark Collins — with an eerie mix of hoot and horror as well as a fine appreciation for what remains absurd and theatrical about the set-up of William Goldman’s play, based on Stephen King’s 1987 bestselling novel.
