About
Jeffrey Hatcher's new adaptation of the celebrated murder mystery that inspired Hitchcock’s masterpiece. Tony is convinced that his wife Margot has been cheating on him. While the affair may be over, his jealousy is not. Tony spins a web of deception that will tighten around them and ensnare them both in danger, recrimination and murder. Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder premiered in London in 1952 before opening on Broadway later that year. The 1954 film adaptation, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starred Ray Milland and Grace Kelly. TheatreFEST is funded in part by the City of Raleigh based on recommendations of the Raleigh Arts. Community Nights are Friday, May 30 and June 6. All general public seats only $20. Supertitles projected May 30, June 1, 5, 13 and 15. Commission.
