REVIEW: Theatre Calgary’s Dial M For Murder queers the classic with style and suspense

The cloaked romance that sparks the homicidal scheme at the core of play is no longer between Margot (Emily Dallas) and a Mark, but rather a Maxine (Olivia Hutt). Yes, exactly — the original heterosexual coupling becomes refreshingly queer.
