Murderously good evening: The Criminal Dinner at Waldhaus Oelper

An interactive crime meets fine multi-course menu: In Braunschweig, Waldhaus Oelper becomes a crime scene when The Criminal Dinner presents 'Testament à la Carte', blending the theatrical atmosphere of a live crime with culinary finesse. The stage experience begins at 5:00 PM, combining the thrill of a thriller with the elegance of a festive dinner.

Acting between the courses: This is how the production works

Between the starter and dessert, the drama unfolds: Two actors switch roles, improvise agilely and involve the audience in the investigations. The direction relies on pace, playfulness, and surprising twists; the stage set is created immediately in the space – changes in lighting, punchlines, and sightlines lead the audience onto false trails before the evidence becomes clear.

Testament à la Carte: Crime with a bite

The famous Prof. William Chattney is dead – but before the estate is distributed, the audience reconstructs the last hours with notary Mr. Green and quirky characters. Detective Johnson senses a violent crime. Chains of evidence, comical misunderstandings, and clever clues accumulate – until an unexpected impulse from the audience tips the investigation.

Sensual impressions: Menu, acoustics, light

The kitchen team at Waldhaus Oelper serves a multi-course menu; the acoustics remain transparent, dialogues sound approachable while the lighting mood shifts from warm candle ambiance to precise spotlight moments. Thus, enjoyment and suspense merge – culinary delights become the dramatic breath of the performance.

Audience reaction: Speculating is explicitly welcome

The audience reaction is part of the staging: murmurs at the next clue, laughter over fine slapstick moments, tense silence before the resolution. This interactivity makes each performance unique – no evening is the same as another.

Service & Comfort at Waldhaus Oelper

Admission starts at 4:30 PM, free parking directly at the venue, and vegetarian or vegan menu alternatives upon request: The evening combines stylish hospitality with smooth organization – ideal for couples, groups of friends, and enjoyment detectives.

Conclusion
