Dial "M" for Murder
A Diabolical Thriller
by Frederick Knott
directed by Preston Lane
September 4 – 25, 2011
Don't pick up the phone.
Tony Wendice has devised the perfect crime. With a lot of planning, a solid alibi and a bit of blackmail, he’s sure to make a fortune. All he has to do is kill his wife. But when his scheme goes disastrously wrong, he finds himself in a suspenseful game of cat and mouse to stay one step ahead of a determined police detective and a suspicious mystery writer out to uncover the truth. Can he still get away with murder? It’s an unexpected glimpse into the mind of a vengeful killer and the race to save his desperate victim.
"Spectacular in its understatement and breathtaking in its ability to provoke the imagination, Dial "M" for Murder is another master work in Triad Stage's opus."
–Lynn Jessup, Classical Voice of North Carolina Read the full review
"Preston Lane...submerges his audience into a sinister world of perplexities and suspense."
