About the show
A steamy exploration of the complications of love, the compromises we make, and the betrayals that undo us. “Murder Ballad” is the dramatic story of a love triangle gone wrong, centering on Sara, an uptown girl who seems to have it all — but whose downtown past lingers enticingly and dangerously in front of her.

Roles
Narrator
The storyteller, providing all the transitions between the various scenes, and occasionally speaking for the characters themselves. Philosophical, poetic, and a little opinionated.

Female, 25-40 yrs old
