SYNOPSIS:
After a local woman is murdered, the guests and proprietors of Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie.
HISTORY:
The Mousetrap made its world premiere on October 6, 1952, at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham. After a brief tour, it opened in London's West End at the Ambassadors Theatre on November 25. Directed by Peter Cotes, the play ran at the Ambassador until March 23, 1974, when it immediately transferred to the larger St Martin's Theatre, next door, where it continues to this day. Having run consistently from 1952 to the present, The Mousetrap is the world's longest-running play.
MEDIA:
“A still-marvelous whodunit... fiendishly fabulous... The Mousetrap deserves to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times
“The Mousetrap, of course, is a masterpiece of misdirection. Thriller writers are like magicians and mind readers; the best of them constantly persuade you to look in the wrong direction, to think about anything but the actual logic of the plot. Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, The Mousetrap is by far the best, perhaps because of its genesis as a radio play. – The Chicago Tribune
“The Mousetrap is not a star vehicle; the play and its author are the stars.” – The Guardian
