A Killing at La Cucina (A Lucia Dante Mystery)

A PTE Co-Production with Vertigo Theatre

A food critic is poisoned at the exclusive five-star restaurant Fate, known by staff as La Cucina. Who could have done such a heinous thing? Was it celebrated chef, Sebastian. The waiter, the dishwasher? Or perhaps the eccentric billionaire or tech giant? Detective Lucia Dante must untangle the web of deceit, petty jealousies, red herrings and hidden relationships to get to the truth. A Killing at La Cucina is a darkly witty murder mystery reminiscent of the Knives Out franchise, by PTE’s own Thomas Morgan Jones.

“I love a good murder mystery – a whodunit and also a whydunit. Working with Vertigo Theatre in Calgary (the country’s leading mystery theatre) gives me the chance to create a twisty tale in a posh setting that will leave the audience guessing – and having a laugh along the way.”
