London is filled with historical monuments on every street. But did you know The Mousetrap is a piece of history too? With over 70 years of performances, it’s the longest-running show of all time.
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap continues to inspire crime novels, thrilling dramas, and murder mystery plays. The original play is part of London’s fabric though, with the Financial Times simply saying: “The Mousetrap is to West End theatre what ravens are to the Tower of London. Its disappearance could impoverish us.”
Set in a country guesthouse, a group of holidaymakers are ushered together as a police sergeant declares there’s a murderer on the loose. Cue interrogations, shock accusations, and unbelievable revelations until the killer is finally revealed. Will you suss out their identity?
The only way to find out the full Mousetrap story is to see the play at St. Martin’s Theatre, so book tickets to The Mousetrap on Box Office.
