Dial M for Murder

Passion runs high in this classic revenge thriller, newly adapted for a modern audience by Jeffrey Hatcher (“Wait Until Dark,” “Holmes and Watson,” “Tuesdays with Morrie,” “Jekyll and Hyde”). Frederick Knott’s nail-biting 1952 play was later adapted by Alfred Hitchcock into the 1954 film. This clever, fast-paced adaptation, which has had box office-busting runs at theatres across the country, adds extra layers of intrigue and emotion to the iconic cat-and-mouse story. Tony is convinced that his wife Margot has been cheating on him. Now it seems that the affair is over, but in his jealousy Tony spins a web of suspicion and deception that will tighten around them and ensnare them both in danger, recrimination and murder. Filled with vivid characters, sharp dialogue, and lethal amounts of intrigue, “Dial M” will keep you on the edge of your seat. Directed by Mary Anne Garrett.
