The Criminal Dinner 'Sherlock Holmes and the Poisoned Maultäschlesupp' – a delicious course menu in a stylish ambiance surrounded by an exciting criminal case at PARK Lange Erlen in Basel.

Yes, you read correctly, the famous master detective Sherlock Holmes and myself, Dr. Watson, have ended up in the Swabian region. Admittedly, not entirely voluntarily. However, our genius could not turn down the invitation of an old acquaintance, the Baroness of Zuckerberg, to a gala dinner once again. So here we are dining at the same time in the adjacent room of the restaurant where you will enjoy a delicious 3-course meal this evening.

Fleeing from his table neighbor, the endlessly chatty Swabian Baroness, the detective narrowly misses the supposed murder of the hostess's husband, Baron von Zuckerberg.

Granted, his health was not the best. But to suddenly fall face first into the Maultäschlesupp is not the proper English way to die, even in Swabia. However, for Sherlock Holmes, the previously deadly boring evening is saved.

A local dialect crime is unfolding, a highly puzzling case indeed, as the investigation results seemingly rule out any influence of poison. The questioning of witnesses, the medical examiner, and some of the dinner guests makes some sheep in the room look suspicious.
With eagerness and in high spirits, the famous detective revs up his little grey cells. "Swabian shrewdness" starts to spread, but no false house builder can outwit the master so easily. Naturally, he will soon have the solution to the case at hand. As always, he lets us grope in the dark for a while before the murderer is virtuosically caught.

Perhaps you too will have the solution soon, as you also have a say in the matter this evening.

The 3-course meal will be served by the gastronomy team at PARK Lange Erlen. The Crime Dinner will start at 7:00 PM, promising thrills for both your nerves and taste buds. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Doors open: 6:30 PM / Menu and theatrical play are included in the price / Table and seat placements will be assigned on-site.

In a very short time, the stage production REGEN by and with Ferdinand von Schirach has developed into one of the most visited new plays in the German-speaking world. The approval and demand have remained unbroken since the premiere, which is why the bestselling author, following his almost completely sold-out premiere tour, is now adding numerous additional dates for 2024 and 2025.

In 2023, Ferdinand von Schirach's new book REGEN was released - entering directly at number 1 on the bestseller list. A narrative that Ferdinand von Schirach has been presenting on stage since October 2023 as a monologue: A man comes in drenched from the rain into a bar - onto the stage - and talks about the greatness and the horror of our time, about human dignity, loneliness, love, loss, and failure.

REGEN is a piece that is as courageous as it is very personal, a play on the edge between stage character and author. Directed by Elmar Goerden.

The Spiegel called Ferdinand von Schirach a "great storyteller," The New York Times an "exceptional stylist," The Independent compared him to Kafka and Kleist, The Financial Times to Raymond Carver, and The Daily Telegraph wrote he is "one of the most distinctive voices in European literature." His books have been widely adapted into films and sold millions as international bestsellers. They have been published in more than forty countries. His plays Terror and God are among the most successful and discussed dramas of the present day worldwide.

"If the word 'cultivated' did not exist, it would have to be invented for Ferdinand von Schirach."

`A Crime of Grand Proportions`

The absolute highlight in the tranquil Swabian town is the annual performance of the cultural association. This year, due to its great success, the theatre play "Faust I" by Goethe is to be performed again. However, the main role must be cast again through a public audition. The board of the association has cordially invited the population. The well-known local actress of Mephisto, Linda Bergmann, is also present to offer support. The audition goes surprisingly well until a sudden death disrupts the relaxed evening. Are there criminal machinations at play? Who can be trusted now?

The flawless coexistence of the cultural association and the small Swabian community develops cracks and threatens to fall apart. Marlene Dieterle, not only the chairwoman of the cultural association, but also a detective and leader of the homicide division, takes on the investigation.

In the end, all threads come together:

What happened on the previous night at the extravagant farewell party of the former Faust actor? Could there have been a confusion between play and reality? The case is meticulously reconstructed, and some guests also come under suspicion. Detective Dieterle urgently requests assistance in solving the mysterious case.

The tantalizing multi-course menu is served and created by the kitchen team at PARK Lange Erlen. The thrill for both nerves and palate begins at 7 pm, with admission from 6:30 pm.
