October 10 – November 2, 2025

World Premiere

Is there such thing as a perfect crime?

The riveting crime thriller that inspired Alfred Hitchcock and Jimmy Stewart in 1948 gets a tantalizing new adaptation from playwright Jeffrey Hatcher (Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde). A murder has been committed, and the two killers host a dinner party in the very room where the victim’s body is hidden. Drunk on arrogance, they claim it is the “perfect murder” and believe getting caught is impossible. But tension builds as cracks begin to appear and audiences are whisked from one moment of suspense to the next. Are the murderers’ slips unconscious or something more sinister? This must-see for fans of thrillers and crime dramas will captivate anyone who has ever been tempted to get away with something.
