The Sound of Murder at Theatre 40

Theatre 40 presents The Sound of Murder by William Fairchild.

Charles Norbury, a successful writer of children's stories, is popular in his field but not at home, where he is arrogant, calculating a cruel tormentor. His wife, starved for love and denied children of her own, turns to another man for affection and eventually the two of them devise a fool-proof plan to do away with the husband.

Theatre 40 stages its productions at the Reuben Cordova Theatre, 241 South Moreno Drive on the Beverly Hills High School campus. There is free parking underneath the building.

Performances are at 8 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

All dates and times subject to change. Reservations may be made online at www.theatre40.org or by calling (310) 364-0535.
