Cast Set for DIAL M FOR MURDER at Two River Theater
Performances will run from February 15 - March 9.
Two River Theater has revealed the cast and creative team for the stylish thriller that inspired a Hitchcock classic, Dial M for Murder, adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher (Scotland Road, Wait Until Dark), from the original by Frederick Knott.Directed by Drama Desk Award nominee Jenn Thompson (Little Shop of Horrors, Chains, Conflict and Women Without Men), Dial M for Murder will run February 15 - March 9 in the Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater.
Is there such a thing as the perfect murder? Planning one might be possible, but pulling it off… that’s another matter. Having discovered his beautiful — and very wealthy — wife Margot’s infidelity, Tony has plotted his revenge. But the execution of her execution might not go according to design.
“Thrills, intrigue, and endless style, Dial M has it all,” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “This edge-of-your-seat, Hitchcock-ian cat-and-mouse game weaves a web of suspicion over every wave of a cigarette or sip of a cocktail. Jeffrey Hatcher’s singular new version injects suspenseful layers of deception into one of Noir’s greatest murder mysteries. With the extraordinary director, Jenn Thompson, at the helm, Dial M promises to be equal parts chic and chilling.”
The cast includes: Robert Eli (Tartuffe, Saturn Returns) as Lesgate, Olivia Gilliatt (Partnership, A Vigilante) as Margot, Tony Roach (Flying Over Sunset, My Fair Lady) as Tony Wendice, Triney Sandoval (Two River’s The Scarlet Letter, Bernhardt/Hamlet) as Inspector Hubbard, and Jasmin Walker (Avenue Q, Jesus Christ Superstar) as Maxine.
The creative team includes: Scenic Designer Wilson Chin, Costume Designer Jess Goldstein, Lighting Designer Phillip Rosenberg, Sound Designer & Composer Jane Shaw, Hair, Makeup, and Wig Designers J. Jared Janas and Sarah Norton, Dialects by Amy Stoller,,, Fights & Intimacy by Gerry Rodriguez, Casting by Caparelliotis Casting/Kelly Gillespie, Stage Manager Alison Cote, and Assistant Stage Manager Abigail Medrano.
