DIAL M FOR MURDER Comes to Cumberland County Playhouse This Month

Beginning April 12, Cumberland County Playhouse will present Dial M for Murder by Frederick Knott!

A jealous husband, a wealthy wife, and… the perfect crime? Passion, blackmail, and revenge combine in this breathtaking, edge-of-your-seat murder mystery. Jealous suspicion gives way to cold-blooded vengeance when a gold-digging husband’s perfect crime misfires, trapping everyone in a sinister and dangerous web of lies. This classic, which inspired Alfred Hitchcock’s masterpiece, is brimming with shocking surprises that will keep you guessing until the end. The New York Times called Dial M for Murder "A cat-and-mouse waiting game, with enough twists and sudden hitches to keep the chills and thrills running.”

Featured in the cast are Heather McCall (Beehive) as Margot Wendice, Playhouse newcomer Caleb Sager as Max Halliday, Britt Hancock (Things My Mother Taught Me) as Tony Wendice, Daniel Black (And Then There Were None) as Captain Lesgate, Jason Ross (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Inspector Hubbard, and James Scott (All Shook Up) as Thompson. Dial M for Murder is directed by René Pulliam (And Then There Were None).
