Winnemucca's White Sage Theater players are enjoying putting plays together with their very active theater group, and audiences are enjoying the fruits of their labors.
The group is working on polishing and final touches for presenting "Dial M for Murder" beginning April 4 at the Martin Hotel, a venue that brings the audience in close.
"Dial M for Murder" was a BBC television show.
It also played in London's West End and on Broadway for a year and a half.
John Matlock of White Sage Theater said, "That makes it a good solid hit; good enough that Alfred Hitchcock made it into a movie starring Grace Kelley, Robert Cummings, and Ray Milland."
Matlock said since then it has played repeatedly at theaters in both England and America.
Now it's coming to Winnemucca.
Tony Wendice (a tennis pro) has married his wife, Margot, for her money and now plans to murder her for the same reason. He sets about arranging the perfect murder by blackmailing a scoundrel with whom he was formerly acquainted into strangling his wife.
He arranges a brilliant alibi for himself, believing it will be "the perfect crime."
Unfortunately; the murderer gets murdered and the victim survives. Not to be deterred from his original plan to get rid of his wife, the husband seizes on his hireling's death as an opportunity to have his wife convicted for the murder of the man who tried to murder her.
The wife's ex-lover (or is he really an "ex-"?) turns up to complicate the plot and a police detective finds his answers to a few questions suspicious.
Audiences are in for a suspenseful treat with White Sage Theater's performance of the mystery, "Dial M for Murder." The play will be performed six times on two weekends at the Martin Hotel.
Opening night is Friday, April 4 at 7:30; The performance will be repeated Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 and for a Sunday matinee April 6 at 2:30.
The following weekend will see two performances of "Dial M for Murder" on Friday (7:30) and Saturday (7:30).
Tickets are on sale at The Martin.[[In-content Ad]]
