Review: DIAL M FOR MURDER at The Forum Theatre
Being a fan of Alfred Hitchcock’s works, I was eager to see The Forum Theatre’s production of acclaimed Jeffrey Hatcher's new adaptation of Frederick Knott's Dial M for Murder. Hatcher’s adaptation of the classic suspense thriller pays homage to the original and is a smart, tight, compelling update of Knott’s tale of jealousy, deception, and homicide. For those who have been fans of all things Hitchcock, The Forum’s production of Dial M for Murder will hit every nuance. From the dangling burning cigarette to the ever-present liquor cabinet and the constant pouring of whiskey or brandy.

Review: A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD at Katonah Classic Stage
Mr. Dawson’s staging is highly effective in its simplicity and pacing, holding the audience in thrall throughout. That, of course, also is a testament to the two very fine actors he’s cast.
