She has been a contributor to both BBC Radio Merseyside’s Drive Time and Radio 4’s The Message. \nTickets to the talk are available for £7.00\, a dinner is also available post talk for an additional £25.00 for three courses. \n  \nHosted by The Liverpool Book Club. \nArrivals from 6:30pm \nEvent Commences: 7:00pm \nAudience Q&A : 7:30pm \nBook Sales & Signing: 8:00pm \nDinner: 8:30pm \n  \nMenu \n  \nStarter \nFrench Onion Soup \nCheese Croute \n-oo0oo- \nMain Course \nOx Cheek Bourguignon \nGarlic and parsley mash\, brioche crumb \nFrench Beans \nMushroom Bourguignon (V) \n  \n-ooOoo- \nDessert \nPeach Pavlova \n  \nThis month marks the first of a new detective thriller series by award-winning writer Margaret Murphy\, published under the pen name M.K. Murphy. The novel\, described as ‘a compulsive thriller’ by bestseller Ann Cleeves\, has been optioned for television. \nOver almost three decades\, the Liverpool born author has written 12 internationally-acclaimed psychological suspense novels under her own name\, and 5 forensic thrillers as Ashley Dyer and AD Garrett. \nMargaret will be in conversation with Professor Catherine Cole\, Professor in Creative Writing in The Screen School\, Liverpool John Moores University. They will talk about how Margaret’s passion for research has sustained her career through turbulent times in publishing. This includes spending time in the US Midwest with cops\, CSIs\, cold case detectives and a forensic anthropologist researching one of her forensic thrillers. But research has its perils. She’s been threatened with arrest by Manchester police\, briefly gained the unwanted attention of a drugs gang\, and was infamously kicked out of a psychotherapy open day as a spy! \nProfessor Cole and Margaret will also discuss the influences that have inspired Margaret’s range of writing styles\, the importance of resilience as a writer and the power of reinvention. \nContinue the conversation in the Athenaeum’s dining room over a three course meal. This can be booked separately from the talk and details will be sent with your confirmation email. \nAbout Margaret Murphy \nMargaret’s work has been published in the UK and across North America\, as well as in translation in nine countries.

SUMMARY:Theatre Group Visit: Frantic Assembly
DESCRIPTION:The Theatre Group’s next outing is a visit to the Playhouse on Saturday 21st October to watch the Frantic Assembly: Metamorphosis \nTickets are available from £26\, to be collected from the Concierge in advance \nWhy not visit the club before or after the showing for a bite to eat? \nBook you place now by 30th September through the Members’ Area or via the Concierge. \nKafka’s\nMetamorphosis\nAdapted by Lemn Sissay OBE. Directed by Scott Graham. \nOne morning Gregor Samsa awakes to find himself changed. To those around him he is dangerous\, untouchable vermin. Worse than that\, he is a burden. \nA word said\, an action out of place\, the opening of old wounds\, none of which can be undone. Until now Gregor has woken every morning\, quietly left to take the same train\, and worked to pay off the family debt. But that world explodes on this morning of brutal metamorphosis. \nIn their first commission since 2019\, Frantic Assembly and Lemn Sissay OBE collaborate on this thrilling new adaptation of Metamorphosis.  Combining the fluidity and lyricism of Lemn Sissay’s adaptation and Frantic’s uncompromising physicality\, this promises to be an unmissable retelling of Franz Kafka’s shocking tale of cruelty and kindness; a visceral and vital depiction of humans struggling within a system that crushes them under its heel.
