The Sound of Murder

by William Fairchild

Popular drama company Talking Scarlet will be back at Buxton Opera House with another ‘edge of your seat’ thriller, The Sound of Murder by William Fairchild.

The plot centres around Charles Norbury a successful writer of children’s books, who happens not to like children. An unlovable man, he has no friends, is arrogant, controlling, sadistic and cruel.

His wife, starved of love and denied children of her own, has met another man. In their cottage in Surrey, a tape recorder has been left on during a conversation between his wife and her lover in which the latter plans the author’s murder. Charles’ secretary listens to the tape and hears the murder plot.

Starring Corrinne Wicks (Doctors, Emmerdale), Michelle Morris (The Knock) and Marcus Hutton (Brookside). ‘A gripping plot provides nail-biting tension in William Fairchild’s The Sound Of Murder, which earned prolonged applause from an appreciative audience on Tuesday and is superbly projected by director Patric Kearns and a talented cast of six.’ – The Brighton Argus ****!
