Middle Ground Theatre Company Ltd is delighted to present Dial M For Mayhem, a brand new charming comedy drama from the author and director of the hugely successful courtroom phenomenon The Verdict.
Set in 1991, it follows of a group of travelling actors from south of the Scottish border as they conquer the beautiful unforgiving landscape of the Highlands and Islands village hall circuit to perform Frederick Knott’s classic 1950’s thriller Dial M For Murder.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of mountains and lochs, complete with unpredictable Scottish weather and internal company squabbling, Act 1’s gentle comic yarn gives way to Act 2’s gleeful back stage comedy of the play within the play!

The script by Margaret May Hobbs is a masterclass…..very cleverly worked…..some laugh out loud moments….I almost choked on my interval drink….I also laughed until tears were falling down my face.
A riotious mix of comedy and chaos, Dial M For Mayhem keeps audiences on their toes……an evening of theactrical fun.

Margaret May Hobbs’ first original script has a lot going for it and delivers more than its fair share of laugh-out-loud jokes and situations…..there is a lot to love………an extremely entertaining night out.
