Mousetrap Description
The Mousetrap, a classic tale of mystery, drama and crime
It’s a murder mystery that’s been thrilling theatre audiences for sixty years or so and it’s as popular as ever. More than ten million of us have thrilled to Agatha Christie’s classic tale since it opened in the late ‘50s and it’s just as gripping as ever. Expect a perfect balance between poignant moments and comic relief, with totally convincing stage sets.
The Mousetrap – The story
It’s winter. Five guests turn up at a rural hotel and are soon completely snowed in. A policeman turns up to warn the guests there’s a murderer on the run in the area. The guests are investigated one by one and a trap is eventually laid to reveal the murderer.
The Mousetrap – Delighting audiences on stage since 1957
The best thing about The Mousetrap is the fact that nobody who has seen the show reveals the killer – an amazing feat after almost sixty years on stage - so unless you see it yourself, you’ll never find out!
This superb vintage whodunnit comes from the pen of world famous mystery writer Agatha Christie and it’s jam packed with thrills and spills. It’s a musical that consciously avoids big name actors to keep the show fresh, and one cast member managed to notch up more than 4,500 performances.
The recorded voice of Deryck Guyler, the show’s radio bulletin announcer, is the same voice that graced the first ever showing. Despite the story’s age and fame, you’ll have a fantastic time trying to unravel the plot as the suspense holds the audience in a tight grasp from start to finish. The mysterious hotel is portrayed vividly on stage and is guaranteed to have you sitting on the edge of your seat as the intrigue unfolds.
Entertaining ten million theatre goers so far…and counting!
Agatha Christie never imagined The Mousetrap would last so long on the stage. She predicted it would be over in eight months. It’s strange to realise that Winston Churchill was Prime Minister when the show first took to the stage, and today it’s the longest-running show in British theatre, a classic that just keeps on giving. Oddly enough, the show never migrated to the silver screen and there’s no Mousetrap the movie. Why? The producers are determined to preserve the mystery and keep the story exclusively for theatre audiences.

Excellent Story
Another well written story by Agatha Christie.

Mousetrap Brilliant
The storyline was so well written. The acting great so authentic that you never quite grasped "who dunnit" which made it so good.

I saw the show over 25 years ago - and could not remember the outcome. I thought the person who played the killer was not a very good "job description" !! Was it him or was it because of the plot??!! We enjoyed the plot though.

not worth the hype
The show was OK - but hard to understand how it has been going so long!

It's not just a play -- it's an institution
There are some plays that true lovers of theatre have to see, and the sexegenerian 'The Mousetrap' is one of those. An archetypal Agatha Christie plot, beautifully presented and acted, and with many more laughs than I was expecting. Sadly, I knew (though no fault of my own!) the identity of the murderer/ess before I saw the play, which took a lot of the tension out of it for me, but I enjoyed it hugely nevertheless. In fact, I felt quite superior eavesdropping on my fellow theatre-goers speculating about whodunnit during the interval! I believe the cast, if not the set, is changed on a regular basis, so if you've not been for a few years, it would be worth going again. And if you've never been -- then you have a comfy cardigan and slippers type treat waiting for you.

Shame about the seats
We enjoyed the play very much but it was a little spoiled by the very tight legroom,I suffer with cramp and had to move to an end seat which helped. Also it was a very cold night and the doors to the upper circle were left wide open right up until the performance began we almost froze to death. This was the first time we had been to the Theatre in London in over 48 years and we especially stayed in London to see a performance. We were not disappointed by the play or the acting it was brilliant, only the theatre.

Not to disclose the killer

A very tight show
The overall presentation was crisp, maintaining a clear and direct flow. Not a word was lost on the audience. I loved it. The one disappointment was the upstairs seating. The young women in front of me were fine as none of them were over 5' 2". I am 5' 10" and my knees were savaged by the seat in front. I am sure the seating was designed by a chiropractor trying to solicit business.
