What to expect
She tried to dial M for murder, but instead she accidentally dialed L for latch-key…
A plotting husband who strongly resembles Ray Milland …
A framed wife as elegant as Grace Kelly …
An Inspector straight out of Monty Python …
Hitchcock would be spinning in his grave if he weren’t suiting up for his cameo.
Suspenseful, witty, and romantic, this one-act play is a lively satire of the films of Alfred Hitchcock.
Critics Review
-
“Over the years Hitchcock’s films and the tropes common to those films have been parodied many times, but few of those parodies are as funny as the one-act play Dial L for Latch-Key by screenwriter/director Scott Fivelson…Dial L for Latch-Key is a delightful, yet respectful send-up of Alfred Hitchcock and his movies.”
Terence Towles Canote's A Shroud of Thoughts
-
“A modern self-aware irreverence.”
Cecilia Palmtag, director, Off Broadway West
-
“A cheeky take on Dial M for Murder, stuffed with more Britishisms than the British and making fun of the very form itself.”
Fred Greenhalgh, host, Radio Drama Revival
