Dial M for Murder
6 - 16 AUGUST | THEATRE WORKS
by frederick knott
Tony Wendice believes he has concocted the perfect murder. After discovering her infidelity, he sets in motion his plan to murder his wife Margot and walk away with her millions. After all, who would suspect her own husband of being the perpetrator? But when he dials the Mayfair exchange to set his plan in motion, the right number leads to the wrong answer.
Crackling with suspense, unexpected twists and lethal amounts of intrigue, this show will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Made famous by Hitchock’s iconic film of the same name, this thrilling reimagining of Dial M for Murder proves that the themes it explores are more pertinent than ever before.
