Die Krimidinner an Bord
The devil of the racecourse
19.10.2025 (Düsseldorf)
Welcome to Ladies Day at Royal Ascot, the famous horse race! Place your bets on a trifecta or do you have a secret favorite and go for the win? But beware, death is on the loose at the Turf… “Satan”, the irrepressible horse of rage, throws off his jockey during training and he dies. But that’s not all: when a murder also takes place, Cora, the niece of Lord Mant, finds herself in mortal danger and suddenly becomes the prime suspect. Will the former chief inspector of Scotland Yard succeed in catching the culprit? Or is there a curse on Satan, also known as the “Devil of the Racecourse”?
A corpse-feast
30.11.2025 (Düsseldorf)
Welcome to the reading of the will! On the occasion of the funeral service for the wealthy owner of the castle, Lord Ashtonburry, relatives and friends gather at the Ashtonburry family’s ancestral home for the funeral reception and the reading of the will. Who did the Lord favor in his will and who will go away empty-handed? Did the Lord really die of natural causes or did he stumble across his rapacious nephew, his illegitimate daughter – or does Lady Ashtonburry herself have something to hide?
Sherlock Holmes and the curse of the Ashtonburrys
14.12.2025 (Düsseldorf)
We are in the year 1895 and Lady Augusta II, Marchioness of Orkney, is holding court. Everyone has come: Prominent personalities, artists, bohemians of all stripes, aristocrats, politicians, famous actresses, singers and adventurers who know how to disguise their debauchery and revelry behind sophisticated masks. But two gentlemen from 221b Baker Street, better known as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, are also expected, as the marquise is being blackmailed and the culprit is threatening to strike at the party. When a murder actually takes place during the course of the evening, it even seems that the Ashtonburrys’ curse is about to be fulfilled once again. But what mask is death lurking behind? Or are there even supernatural forces at work here…?
