"The Mousetrap" is Agatha Christie's most successful play. It premiered at the Ambassador's Theatre in London in 1952 and has never stopped running in London. It is the longest continuously running play of all time.
"The Mousetrap" is a two-act drama set in Monkswell Manor Guest House, a newly converted mansion run by a young couple. As the new owners prepare for their first guests to arrive, they are both apprehensive about the snowy weather and how it will affect their grand opening.
Just as the first guests arrive, a radio news report announces that a woman has been murdered at 24 Culver Street in Paddington, London.
An unexpected guest turns up at Monkswell Manor as the rest of the guests are settling in. He appears at the gate of the guest house and says that his car has broken down in the terrible snow, and he needs accommodation.
With a full house of guests trapped by the snow, life for the young couple gets even more complicated with a phone call from the local police. The officer reports that there is reason to believe that the murder suspect could be in the vicinity, and he is sending a policeman over for protection.
Who is the murderer? Is it a guest? Is it one of the owners? If you love a great
"whodunit" play, this is one you will not want to miss.
