Charles Norbury is a wildly successful author of childrens books. He hates children, and pretty much anyone else, too. Hes petty, cruel, vindictive, and treats his unloved wife like a slave. He also refuses to have children with her. In short, hes the sort of fellow who would make the world a better place if only he would just die.Anne, the wife, has found some solace in the arms of her handsome lover, Peter.

Surprise follows surprise, and youll be kept guessing as to what exactly the heck is going on until the very end.The cast of The Sound of Murder includes Roslyn Cohn, Gabriel Oliva, David Hunt Stafford, Peter Trencher, David Westbay and Kate Whitney.Adrian Neil directs. Written by William Fairchild.
Ages: 12 to Adult.
