Step into the intrigue of wartime Norfolk with Dreamstone Productions at The Assembly House. Join us for an evening of deception, suspense, and immersive theatre, paired with a decadent three-course dinner in Norwich’s most stunning setting.

Set against the backdrop of 1941, tensions rise as Winston Churchill’s morale-boosting UK tour arrives in Norwich. But as the evening unfolds, dark secrets emerge, and the blackout hides more than just shadows.

Who can you trust? Who has the most to hide? And when the lights go out during the blackout, will the truth come to light—or will murder prevail?

Seating at communal tables of up to 10 guests – the perfect setting for uncovering clues!
