DIAL M FOR MURDER at Ensemble Theatre tickets
About DIAL M FOR MURDER
The ever-so-charming ex-tennis-pro Tony Wendice has his eye on the prize. The prize in question? His wife Margot’s eye-wateringly enormous inheritance. Fuelled by greed and revenge, he concocts the perfect plan to eliminate her from the equation. But after a small mishap, Tony must spin a web of lies to outsmart the cops to avoid a jaunt behind bars.
Twists, turns, danger and deception — the stage is set for an explosive night of theatre. Made famous by Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic 1950’s film, this spine-tingling new adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher, directed by Mark Kilmurry, crackles with suspense, intrigue and unexpected surprises.
