Famous romance author Paul is rescued from a car crash by his "number one fan.” As Annie nurses Paul to health, her obsession takes control. What begins as a rescue quickly turns into a dangerous entrapment as Paul writes for his life. Experience the horror as Stephen King's chilling thriller comes to life on stage when a fan will stop at nothing for the sequel of her dreams.
The run time is 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.

Chris Hutchison The Da Vinci Code marks my 100th Alley production since appearing in Proof in 2004. Here is to all the artists past and present I have had the good fortune to work with. Thanks to the Board and Artistic Director Rob Melrose for believing in me and the idea of a Resident Company. Love to Elizabeth Bunch, my partner on- and off stage. My greatest thanks though, are to YOU-our Alley audience-that has so warmly welcomed me for all these years. I am so grateful.
