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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

Durham is a city full of history. But not every story belongs in the history books. Some are darker, stranger and almost forgotten.


Welcome to CrimeNight Durham, a live true crime experience exploring one remarkable real case connected to Durham and the surrounding area.


Two British hosts take you inside the investigation, from the first events and early suspicions to the evidence, unanswered questions and discoveries that gradually changed the case.


If you love true crime podcasts and documentaries, imagine that experience brought to life in the theatre, with a real story connected to your own city unfolding right in front of you.



What to expect

The lights go down and the investigation begins.
Photographs, newspaper reports, maps and other carefully selected material appear on a large screen as your hosts guide you through the case and the people at the centre of it.


As more details are revealed on screen, you are invited to follow the investigation for yourself. What would you have noticed? Who would you have believed? Which details would have changed your mind?


Piece by piece, the story begins to take shape.


One real case. One local story. 75 minutes of local true crime told live on stage.


CrimeNight is carefully researched and presented with respect for the victims, families and people affected by the case featured.


CrimeNight is part of Dreamlight Experiences, whose live productions have welcomed more than 400,000 guests across Europe.
