Notes
○ In his programme note for Dial M For Murder, Stephen Joseph wrote this was the first thriller to be presented at Theatre in the Round at the Library Theatre; arguably An Inspector Calls produced in July 1957 fits that criteria.
○ This is believed to be the first professional in-the-round production of Dial M For Murder in the UK.
○ Dial M For Murder was presented without an interval.
