Dial M for Murder

I’ve been so fortunate to have cut my teeth as a director at the Old Globe in San Diego. My first job there was directing a new musical called Ace in 2007, followed by the out-of-town production of Allegiance in 2012, then five years later the play Red Velvet, and, most recently, “Dial M.” 

Having never worked in their intimate second space (which is in the round), I was perplexed and transfixed by the challenge of directing a thriller/mystery with an audience surrounding the action. This brand-new adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher was ingenious and gave this new production a rich flavor that the company of actors and designers brought to life with fierce commitment.
