“A cat-and-mouse waiting game, with enough twists and sudden hitches to keep the chills and thrills running.” – The New York Times
A jealous husband. His wealthy wife. The perfect crime! Get ready to experience these and more as the Amarillo Little Theatre presents Dial M for Murder as the fourth Mainstage production of the season.
Margot Wendice is happily married to Tony, and the couple share a charming life and a modest flat in 1950s London. But not all is as it seems. Margot has been involved with the famous American crime writer Maxine Hadley and is being blackmailed by a mysterious stranger who threatens to expose the affair to her husband. But Tony already knows and has just hatched a plot of deadly revenge. 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. Will the killer get away, or will justice be served? You’ll be kept guessing until the end and gripping the edge of your seat through the twists and turns of this stylish thriller of blackmail and revenge.
ALT has assembled a talented array of veteran ALT actors for this production. Performers include Jeri Tidmore as Margot Wendice, Marley Hoggatt as Maxine Hadley, Michael Newman as Tony Wendice, Brandon Graves as Lesgate and Jacob Miller as Inspector Hubbard. Artistic Director for this production is Terri Wilson with Travis Tidmore serving as Assistant Director.
Passion runs high in this classic revenge thriller that runs January 16-26 on the ALT Allen Shankles Mainstage. This new adaptation of the iconic play is recommended for ages 13+ due to some mature themes, violence, murder (it’s right there in the title), romantic kiss, discussion of a past extramarital affair and edge-of-your seat suspense.
