Williamston Theatre Starts Off 2026 With DIAL M FOR MURDER

Williamston Theatre will kick off 2026 with Dial M for Murder adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the original by Frederick Knott.

Performances for this classic suspense thriller begin Thursday, February 5 and run through Sunday, March. Tickets are on sale starting January 13.

Do you believe in the perfect murder? When Tony Wendice discovers a love letter meant for his wife, a vengeful obsession takes over. He plots revenge, hires an old friend to do the unthinkable, and sets a meticulous plan in motion — until one mistake sends everything into a spiral.  Dial M for Murder is Jeffrey Hatcher's sharp adaptation of a classic suspense thriller that gives the iconic story new life. You may know the story; but seeing it live, just feet from the performers, is a whole new experience. Catch every glance. Every twist. Every gasp. Contains mature content.
