The Lighthouse Festival presents the world premiere of Secret Service by Ephraim Ellis.

Welcome to Il Glorioso Buco, Toronto’s swankiest, most suspiciously well-staffed Italian restaurant. It’s opening night, the risotto is simmering, and the atmosphere is thick with… espionage? That’s right – unbeknownst to the hungry guests and hapless staff, a crack team of international spies has taken over the kitchen, using marinara as camouflage for a top-secret sting operation.

Enter Harry Marsden: an eternally optimistic rookie who thinks he’s just starting a regular old waiter gig. Dressed to impress in his ill-fitting tux and armed only with a serving tray and way too much enthusiasm, Harry has no idea he’s just walked into the culinary equivalent of a James Bond blooper reel.

Featuring tuxedoed takedowns, linguini larceny, suspicious accents and one very confused maître d’, this world premiere is Mission: Impossible meets slapstick as Secret Service proves the biggest secret might just be Harry’s complete cluelessness. Spies, lies, and al dente drama – what could possibly go wrong?
