PRESS ACCLAIM FOR DIAL M FOR MAYHEM “Dial M For Mayhem is a delightfully charming way to spend an evening….the comedy drama is brought to life by the uniformly excellent cast of six who deliver perfect timing, pithy delivery and physical comedy with aplomb… the cast maintain their energy throughout the evening, which delivers plenty of laughs, chuckles and wry grins as the farcical events on and off stage play out. It is hard not to find yourself smiling throughout” “Margaret May Hobbs’ hilarious take on the classic Dial M For Murder… Act One is the perfect combination of ingredients needed for a play to go wrong… had every single member of the audience laughing… there is never a moment in which the audience isn’t guaranteed to be simultaneously laughing and cringing. Very silly and highly recommended.” **** 4 Stars “A funny romp that flips the classic whodunit on its head, taking the audience on a hilarious ride through the chaos of theatre… the premise sets the stage for a brilliant collision of genres… with often laugh out loud results. The audience watches in gleeful anticipation… the pacing is sharp and relentless… the dialogue is quick and witty, filled with sharp exchanges and clever wordplay. The aid-fire delivery is perfectly matched by the physical comedy on display….each new mishap only fuels the laughter, creating a whirlwind of chaos that had everyone in the theatre belly laughing at times.” “Margaret May Hobbs’ entertaining play taps amiably into the worthy tradition of a play-within-a-play, and provides some genuinely funny moments to lighten the heart on the dankest of January nights… a growing crescendo of hilarity. Get-out and support this funny and heartening production.” “Dial M For Mayhem is slapstick perfect for whole family, the show rooted in the Hitchcock classic provides brilliant juxtaposition, eliciting audience belly laughs a plenty! One scene the audience’s guffaws took several minutes to die down. A stellar cast… all have great comic timing. The play will appeal to anyone who wants escapism. A theatrical treat that people of all ages will enjoy. **** 4 Stars” “Lunney does well to keep the laughter rolling.
