6:30 pm - A Matter of Honor by Rick Fournier
You receive an invitation to an all-expenses paid trip to a hotel in San Francisco, including the plane ticket, and your boss says, "Go and enjoy." Why? Who's your benefactor? These are the questions on the inds of five former prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War Two, brought together at the Hotel Sebastian in San Francisco, in the summer of 1953. Discovery and decisions await them.
8 pm - Foca by Layla Dowlatshahi
Fifteen years after the Bosnian War, Katya has put the past behind her. All that changes when she is summoned to testify at the trial of the man accused of raping her. If she refuses to testify, the accused man could go free, but if she does testify, she risks losing the life she has now by revealing the secret she has kept hidden all these years. And what of the accused man? His version of events is quite different from her own.
After the reading, head across the street to Pizza Lucé and show your roundtable program for a FREE slice of their award-winning pizza!
