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.

Thom Says:
"There's nothing like a solid murder mystery. A whodunnit and also a whydunnit. A co-production with Calgary's Vertigo Theatre (the country's leading mystery theatre), this production was programmed to delight and thrill audiences. With a posh setting, it has an air of sophistication, while also having a delicious sense of humour. Inspired by the tone of the Knives Out franchise and the recent Kenneth Branagh Poirot films, this is a mystery not to be missed."
