Directed by Denise Silvey, The Mousetrap is a thrilling murder mystery whodunnit with a twist ending that has infamously remained under wraps. It follows a group of seven strangers who find themselves snowed in at Monkswell Manor, a remote countryside guesthouse, as news spreads of a murder in London. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover – to their horror – that a killer is in their midst. One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim?

The longest running play in the world, The Mousetrap opened in 1952 and celebrated its 30,000th performance in the West End. It was presented with a Guinness World Records certificate for the record title longest theatrical run.

The current cast (until 7 November) includes Saranna Parlone as Mollie Ralston, Ben Riddle as Giles Ralston, Stefan Chanyaem as Christopher Wren, Joanne Henry as Mrs Boyle, James Staddon as Major Metcalf, Anna Rawlings as Miss Casewell, Dugald Bruce-Lockhart as Mr Paravicini, and Ben Galvin as Detective Sgt. Trotter. Completing the cast are Nancy Doubledee, Bella Farr, Barnaby Jago, Richard Parnwell and Clive Marlowe.

The Mousetrap is playing at St Martin's Theatre with booking now available until 18 July 2027.
