Dial M
for Murder
South
Shields Customs
House
Friday
12th –Saturday 13th February 2016
Theatre fans can enjoy a truly thrilling experience this
weekend.
The Customs House in South
Shields is playing host to a new production of Frederick
Knott’s atmospheric drama, Dial M for Murder.
This intense and darkly gripping thriller, famously filmed by
Alfred Hitchcock, stars Oliver Mellor (Coronation
Street), Terri Dwyer (Hollyoaks) and
Marcus Hutton (Brookside) and is
produced by Talking Scarlet.
Customs House Executive Director Ray Spencer MBE said: “Dial
M for Murder is a fantastically gripping tale and we’re delighted to welcome
back Talking Scarlet. Last year they brought Stone Cold Murder which was a
fantastic production and won rave reviews. We can’t wait to see what they have
in store for our audience this year.”

Oliver Mellor plays Tony Wendice and is best known for
appearing as Dr Matt Carter in Coronation
Street for three years, while Sheila
Wendice is played by Terri Dwyer, best known for playing Ruth Osbourne in
Hollyoaks for more than six years. She is fresh from filming new British movie
Legacy, which is due out later this year. Marcus Hutton plays Max Halliday and
is best known for appearing as Nathan Cuddington in Brookside.
Tony Wendice has married his wife Margot for her money and
now plans to murder her for the same reason. He arranges the perfect murder: he
blackmails a scoundrel he used to know into strangling her for a fee and
arranges a brilliant alibi for himself. But does everything go according to
plan?
Convinced his wife is having an affair, the audience watch
mesmerised at Tony’s precision in planning what must surely be the perfect
murder – until it falters in the most unexpected way.
Claustrophobic and frightening, this new production reclaims
this brilliant tale of betrayal, passion and, ultimately, murder.
Tickets:
The production takes place at the Mill Dam venue on Friday
and Saturday at 7.45pm with a
Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.
Tickets for Dial M for Murder are £17 and are available from
the box office on 0191 454 1234 or by visiting www.customshouse.co.uk.
