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. Charles wont grant her a divorce: It would damage him professionally with the parents of his juvenile fans.The one person who has real regard for Charles is his loyal secretary, Miss Forbes. She is infatuated with Peter.Anne and Peter deduce that the only way they will ever be to be together forever is if they kill Charles. They come up with a scheme to effect his murder. But things just dont go according to plan..The plot of The Sound of Murder has more twists and turns than the Arroyo Parkway. 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.
