What Our Guests Say

Reviews from previous Dreamlight productions:

At first I thought the audience participation might feel awkward or forced. But you could just sit back and listen and decide for yourself how much to get involved. That kept the mood nice and relaxed.

Hannah

I was given the tickets for my birthday and didn’t know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised. The story was gripping and the time flew by.

Marius

CrimeNight - Real Cases.

The CrimeNight Mannheim was simply brilliant. The hosts on stage guided us through the evening really well, totally likeable and full of energy. I had a really great evening and will definitely be back.

True Crime in Ludwigshafen was really gripping – real criminal cases from the city. We voted by phone and investigated together. You could put forward suggestions too. The case was solved in the end.

Ludwigshafen, June 2026

This was our second time at Crime Night. Our first visit was last year in Berlin. The reader was brilliant. He really got into the skin of every character and embodied them perfectly.

JuL Es

CrimeNight - Real Cases.

The first half was especially gripping, because new clues kept coming in. The resolution felt a bit rushed to us at the end, but overall it was a very entertaining evening. We’d watch it again with a different case.

Marv

CrimeNight - Real Cases.

I was a bit sceptical beforehand, because formats like this often go straight for shock and drama. Here the case was told respectfully and still genuinely gripping. Exactly the right mix for a true crime evening.

The CrimeNight in Bremen was a great evening. The hosts were likeable and professional, the case gripping and the expert brilliant. Unfortunately the sound quality was tricky at times. Still absolutely worth it

The show was gripping and entertaining. The two from the Leichenschmaus podcast presented the case respectfully and compellingly, and the fitting stage decor rounded off the experience. Recommended for all true crime fans

A great event ✨ Gripping & interactive, an amazing experience! Only downside: the seating, but otherwise top marks all round! 🌟

We went to the Crime Night in Hamburg ✨ everything superbly organised! The case of the Heath Murderer 🔪 was really gripping. The hour was even extended by 10 minutes, but we’d gladly have listened longer. We’ll be back!

Getting into the beautifully decorated hall was completely relaxed. The speakers were brilliant, the storytelling really gripping. Definitely an evening we’ll come back for!

The Crime Night in Braunschweig was really gripping! Only one host – with two it would surely have been even more dynamic. Still a great evening full of suspense and fun!

Experience true crime like never before with CrimeNight Shrewsbury, a live true crime event built around one real case from your own city.

Join two British hosts for a gripping night at the theatre as they take you inside a real investigation from Shrewsbury. From the moment the first report comes in, you follow the case exactly as it developed. You see what investigators saw, discover what was known at the time and watch the picture change as new evidence, suspicions and unexpected details come to light.

This is not a collection of famous cases you already know from the telly, and it is not the same story touring from town to town. Every CrimeNight is researched specifically for the city in which it takes place. This case happened here.

Real photographs, newspaper reports, maps and original source material bring the investigation into the room. Instead of simply being told what happened, you follow the case from the beginning, piece by piece, without knowing what comes next. You are there for the first suspicions, the discoveries, the moments investigators got it wrong and the details that eventually changed everything.

You do not just hear the story. You follow it as it unfolds.

Every case is carefully researched using real reports, records and available source material, and presented with respect for the victims and everyone affected.

CrimeNight is part of Dreamlight Experiences, whose live productions have welcomed more than 400,000 guests across Europe. For the UK, each edition is created around a British local case and presented live in English by British hosts.


Chilling, gripping and much closer to home than you might expect. One real case. One city. One unforgettable night.


Perfect for fans of true crime documentaries and podcasts.


Recommended age 16+. Contains references to real crimes, violence and mature themes.
