Step into the snow-bound world of Monkswell Manor and become part of theatrical history. Written by Agatha Christie, The Mousetrap opened in London in 1952 and holds the title of the world’s longest‐running play on the West End.
In this timeless whodunnit: newly-wed innkeepers Mollie and Giles Ralston open their guest–house in a remote manor house during a snowstorm. One by one, a motley group of guests arrives including an unexpected visitor whose car “just got stuck in the snow.”
Then a murder occurs, the telephone line is cut, the snow isolates the house and everyone is under suspicion. What unfolds is a classic Christie set-up of locked-room tension, unexpected twists and the moment when everybody realizes the murderer is among them.
“An engaging blend of classic structure and finely tuned ensemble work. It honours Christie’s legacy while feeling alive in the present moment…”-The Sound On Stage
“...one of the best whodunits of all time will keep the audience guessing until the very end.”- The Commentator
