DIAL “M” FOR MURDER

By Frederick Knott

Directed by Paul Smith

September 13 – 29, 2024

Coastal Repertory Theatre, 1167 Main Street, Half Moon Bay

With unexpected twists and turns at every corner, DIAL “M” FOR MURDER will keep audiences guessing until the very end. This intimate psychological thriller, famously brought to the screen by Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic film starring Grace Kelly and Ray Milland, is a twisted tale of infidelity, greed, and murder. 

Charismatic Tony Wendice has married his wife Margot for her money. When he discovers she has cheated on him, he conspires with a criminal friend to off her so he can inherit a fortune. Tony concocts an elaborate plan to have Margot strangled while he is notably out of the apartment. When everything goes wrong, Tony has to improvise.

Known for its vivid, complex characters, sharp dialogue, and sublime film noir sensibilities, DIAL “M” FOR MURDER is a thrilling narrative where nothing is as it seems.
