World-famous food critic Richard Carlyle dies after dining at the hottest new 5-star restaurant, FATE - an establishment that offers diners an experience to face their own mortality. Did he die by eating the improperly prepared puffer fish, or was he murdered? Enter Lucia Dante, renowned detective. With numerous suspects, Lucia must draw on her skills and the help of her AI colleague Isabella. She must also settle scores from her own past in order to crack the case. This World Premiere of a new Canadian play is a delicious whodunnit of the highest order.

"I am a huge fan of the mystery genre." Says Playwright Thomas Morgan Jones. "Two main themes have emerged in this play: Identity and Morality. This play grapples with both at once, in a world of excess."

"We wanted to invent a new infamous detective," says Director Jack Grinhaus. "Thus Lucia Dante was born."

A KILLING AT LA CUCINA features Lauren Brotman as Lucia Dante and Braden Griffiths as everyone else.
