The Phoenician Scheme – Tuesday 8th July – 6:30pm
A story of a family and a family business.
Wealthy businessman, Zsa-zsa Korda, appoints his only daughter, a nun, as sole heir to his estate. As Korda embarks on a new enterprise, they soon become the target of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and determined assassins.

Lies We Tell – Tuesday 12th August – 6:30pm
Ireland, 1864. Newly orphaned heiress Maud Ruthyn becomes ward to her notorious uncle, Silas Ruthyn. Maud, grief-stricken and proud rejects support from her two trustees, Dr. Bryerly and Captain Ilbury, and welcomes Silas, his children Emily and Edward, and governess Madame to her isolated manor. But the arrival of Maud’s estranged family is, in fact, a malign home invasion.
Silas plans to secure her inheritance for himself and compel Maud to forfeit her position by marrying her cousin Edward – or dying. Threatened, betrayed, and outnumbered by Silas and his allies, teenaged Maud now has to fight for her birthright. Instead of breaking her, the escalating danger sparks gambit after gambit against her charming, dangerous uncle – and a final, murderous showdown.
A subversive take on J.S. Le Fanu’s gothic sensation novel: our Maud is anything but a victim.
Genre: Crime/Drama
Flip the Food Bowl – Saturday 16th August – 6:30pm
