“Dial M for Murder gets an A+ for adaptation…with the heightened stakes of live theater.”  — Vanguard Culture

“Wonderfully theatrical…The pace is quicker, the dialogue is snappier, the women are smarter and more complex.”  — The Times of San Diego

“Clever, funny and fast-paced…Even if you’ve seen Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 film adaptation of the Frederick Knott teleplay, you’ll want to see this smartly updated adaptation that has many surprise twists…but seen through Hatcher’s fresh eyes, it’s also timeless.”  — San Diego Union-Tribune
