Dial M For Murder will be presented by Tabs Productions at the Pomegranate from September 7 to 9.

The action focuses on an ex-tennis pro who believes his wealthy wife is having an affair with a crime writer.

Driven by revenge and greedy for her substantial wealth, the husband embarks on a plot to commit the perfect murder.

But even the best laid plans can go wrong.

This gripping noir thriller, famously brought to the big screen by Alfred Hitchcock, transforms the ‘whodunnit’ into the ‘will they get away with it?’ Is it possible to commit the perfect crime, or will justice always prevail?
