Dial M for Murder

Written by Frederick Knott, Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher

November 20-December 20, 2026
Running in Rep with Acting Can Be Murder

Tony Wendice married his wife for her money; now he plans to murder her for it. Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of the classic suspense thriller is a smart, compelling update of Knott’s tale of jealousy, deception and homicide. 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. A new version of the celebrated murder mystery that inspired Hitchcock’s masterpiece!
