The Mousetrap | London
The world’s longest-running play, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has kept audiences guessing for six decades. It celebrated its 60th birthday, our Diamond Anniversary, in November 2012 and this world record breaking production continues to attract audiences to the St. Martin's Theatre from every corner of the globe with glowing The Mousetrap reviews. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.
The murder mystery is set in the imposing Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, following a terrifying murder in Paddington. Here, Mollie and Giles Ralston are administering the finishing touches for the opening of the hall, which will be their new guest house. However, as the story progress, links appear between the murder and the manor, which spooks Mollie and Giles, who find themselves stranded in a snowstorm with a mysterious set of guests.
The Mousetrap London play first entered the record books many years ago on 12th April 1958 when it became the longest running show of any kind in the history of British Theatre.
The Mousetrap history
The Mousetrap story is a terrific adaptation of one of the most celebrated novels of Agatha Christie, the formidable crime novelist and playwright who was born in the photogenic English Riviera resort of Torquay in 1890. She has been cited as the best-selling novelist in history, with around two billion books sold across the world.
Agatha published her first title, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, in 1920, and was the recipient of the coveted Grand Master Award by the Mystery Writers of America in 1955. In the 1920s, she travelled the world, and credits Anglo-Irish novelist Elizabeth Bowen and English novelist Graham Greene as some of her key influences
