EVERYMAN THEATRE EXTENDS RUN FOR DIAL M FOR MURDER DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND
Eight shows added. Now closes January 7, 2024
(BALTIMORE, MD) Everyman Theatre is bringing you thrills and chills for even longer through the
holidays. Dial M For Murder will be onstage for an additional week, now through, January 7, 2024.
Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher and directed by Everyman Founder and Artistic Director, Vincent M.
Lancisi, this classic thriller, which served as inspiration for Hitchcock’s iconic film, presents a twisted tale
of a former writer, Tony Wendice, who concocts a plan to murder his wealthy wife, Margot. With the
help of a sharp-witted detective, Margot fights to clear her name and reveal the truth about her
husband’s deadly scheme. Jeffrey Hatcher’s script layers clever dialogue and unexpected plot twists
with a contemporary exploration of greed, power, and manipulation.
“For Dial M for Murder, our dedicated team of art professionals are pulling out all the stops to vividly
create a world full of suspense and discovery,” says Managing Director Marissa LaRose. “And with a
cast entirely made up of our Resident Company Members that call Baltimore and its surrounding area
home, this show is a prime example of the tremendous talent, arts, and culture this great city has to
offer. We’re thrilled to see such interest for live theatre and excited to share this quintessentially
Everyman production with audiences into the new year.”
Everyman’s production of Dial M for Murder features a full cast of its Resident Company of Actors
including Megan Anderson (A Doll’s House) as Maxine Hadley, Danny Gavigan (Ken Ludwig’s
Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery) as Lesgate, Beth Hylton (The Sound Inside) as Margot Wendice,
Tony Nam (Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery) as Tony Wendice, and Bruce
Randolph Nelson (Harvey) as Inspector Hubbard. In addition to Lancisi, the creative team is composed
mostly of Everyman Resident Artists including Daniel Ettinger (Set Design), David Burdick (Costume
Design), Harold F Burgess II (Lighting Design), Gary Logan (Dialects), Lewis Shaw (Fights and Intimacy)
