Dial M for Murder

Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher

From the Original by Frederick Knott

Directed by Jenn Thompson

The Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater

Is there such a thing as the perfect murder? Planning one might be possible, but pulling it off… that’s another matter. Having discovered his beautiful — and very wealthy — wife Margot’s infidelity, Tony has plotted his revenge. But the execution of her execution might not go according to design. Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher (Scotland Road, Wait Until Dark) brings an exhilarating new eye to the stylish thriller that inspired a Hitchcock classic.

Dial M for Murder (Hatcher)” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
