To mark Halloween 2024, The Dukes, Lancaster bring Night of The Werewolves: Live, an interactive dining experience and comedy horror show that’ll leave you screaming with laughter, and maybe a touch of terror.

Presented by the award-winning Hull-based theatre company Silent Uproar, this novel and deliciously hilarious experience will appeal to lovers of BBC TV show The Traitors and cult-classic games such as Werewolves and Mafia. Packed with suspense and strategy – at this killer party – audiences will spend the evening trying to figure out which of their fellow diners is secretly a bloodthirsty werewolf.

Set in a cursed 16th-century village where werewolves hide among the innocent, audience members will have to work out, accuse and brutally ‘murder’ fellow audience members. The audience can work together – or betray each other – to uncover the truth before the next victim is claimed.

The Night of The Werewolves Live offers a night of gothic theatre like no other. Expect ghoulish humour, glam horror, and unexpected twists as each performance becomes a thrilling, unpredictable game.

Written by the critically acclaimed Olivia Hurst and directed by Silent Uproar’s Alex Mitchell, with incredible design by realist visual artist Ian Hinley and a suspenseful soundscape by producer and composer Eddi Pickard, audiences are in for a thrilling night of alternative Halloween entertainment.

With a strictly 18+ age restriction, each ticket includes entry to the event and a choice of Merchant’s Hot Pot or Vegetarian Risotto.
