Dial M for Murder
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the original by Frederick Knott
Directed by Brandon Raghu
A new version of the celebrated murder mystery that inspired Hitchcock’s masterpiece! 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. Adapted from Frederick Knott's original, made famous by Alfred Hitchcock's film, Jeffrey Hatcher's taut adaptation keeps the twists coming until the very end.
