The ever-so-charming ex-tennis-pro Tony Wendice has his eye on the prize. The prize in question? His wife Margot’s eye-wateringly enormous inheritance. Fuelled by greed and revenge, he concocts the perfect plan to eliminate her from the equation. But after a small mishap, Tony must spin a web of lies to outsmart the cops to avoid a jaunt behind bars.
Twists, turns, danger and deception — the stage is set for an explosive night of theatre. Made famous by Alfred Hitchcock’s world-renowned 1950’s film, Amber McMahon (A BROADCAST COUP) shines in Jeffrey Hatcher’s spine-tingling new adaptation directed by Mark Kilmurry. Crackling with suspense, intrigue and unexpected surprises, you’ll be guessing ‘whodunit’ until the very last moment.
