JANUARY 15, 2026, VANCOUVER, B.C./ / The traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ Nations – The Arts Club Theatre Company production of Dial M for Murder runs from February 5 to March 8, 2026, at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage. Jillian Keiley directs Jeffrey Hatcher’s sharp adaptation of the classic psychological thriller by Frederick Knott. Presented in partnership with Theatre Calgary, this gripping play brings audiences into a world of obsession, manipulation, and deadly outcomes.
When Tony learns of his wife Margot’s affair, his jealousy takes a lethal turn. He concocts the perfect murder, devises an alibi, and waits to strike. Tension builds as Tony, Margot, her lover, and a mysterious figure from the past become ensnared in a high-stakes maze of deception, blackmail, and betrayal. This intense drama will have you waiting with bated breath and wondering: Will he get away with it?
Hatcher’s adaptation brings a modern sensibility to the well-known thriller, sharpening the gripping stakes while honouring the twists and turns that have made the play a classic. The result is a fast-paced, dialogue-driven suspenseful story that explores power, control, and the consequences of underestimating those around you. As secrets surface and loyalties shift, Dial M for Murder becomes a taut game of cat-and-mouse, keeping audiences guessing until the final moments.
“Dial M for Murder offers a perfect balance of timeless appeal with engaging storytelling, creating immense potential for an unforgettable theatre experience,” said Arts Club Theatre Company Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran. “Personally, I’ve always loved suspense thrillers, and Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of Dial M for Murder is a prime example of this genre. This kind of thriller never goes out of style. The audience is aware of Tony’s plans, but the real intrigue lies in watching how those plans unfold—when they go according to his scheme and when he’s forced to improvise. Audiences will be captivated and pulled into a world of mystery, tension, and unexpected twists that will keep them on the edge of their seats.”
The production begins previews at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage on February 5 and runs until March 8, with opening night on February 11. Tickets are available through the Arts Club Theatre Company Box Office with prices starting at $29. Purchase tickets online or through the Box Office Call Centre at 604.687.1644.
