Dial M For Murder

About

A Globe-commissioned world-premiere adaptation of Frederick Knott’s celebrated thriller, Dial M for Murder arrives in an incisive new version by Jeffrey Hatcher, directed by Stafford Arima. Staged in the intimate, in-the-round Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, the production brings contemporary wit and clarity to the classic midcentury murder mystery that inspired Hitchcock’s film. Period-accurate costumes by Ryan Park and atmospheric lighting by Amanda Zieve evoke a stylish, noir-tinged London, while Leon Rothenberg’s sound design heightens suspense with precise cues and effects. The round configuration is used dynamically, with Rachel Lee Flesher’s fight and intimacy direction calibrated for all angles. Content advisory: moments of violence, electronic and herbal cigarette smoke, strobe lighting, and haze.
