CURRENT: DIAL M FOR MURDER AT ARIZONA THEATRE COMPANY
Passion runs high in this classic revenge thriller, newly adapted for a modern audience by ATC favorite playwright Jeffrey Hatcher (“Wait Until Dark,” “Holmes and Watson,” “Tuesdays with Morrie,” “Jekyll and Hyde”). Frederick Knott’s nail-biting 1952 play was later adapted by Alfred Hitchcock into the 1954 film. This clever, fast-paced adaptation, which has had box office-busting runs at theatres across the country, adds extra layers of intrigue and emotion to the iconic cat-and-mouse story. Filled with vivid characters, sharp dialogue, and lethal amounts of intrigue, “Dial M” will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Cast: Ana Dragovich (Maxine Hadley u/s), Awesta Zarif (Margot Wendice), Lucy Lavely (Maxine Hadley), Dan Domingues (Tony Wendice), Aaron Cammack (Lesgate & Tony u/s), Peter Howard (Inspector Hubbard), Sam McInerney (Lesgate & Inspector Hubbard u/s), Chelsey Jean Smith (Margot Wendice u/s).
