Opening

Every time the Jungle Theater has staged Frederick Knott's Alfred Hitchcock-inspired stage thriller "Dial M for Murder," it has been a smash. Director Bain Boehlke is hoping to show he has the touch again with the story where the motive for marriage and murder are the same: money. Husband Tony Wendice plans the perfect death of his wife, Margot, but things don't go according to plan. Michael Booth and Cheryl Willis depict the couple.
