DON’T JUST SEE IT. SOLVE IT.
AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP is the world’s longest-running play. This thrilling West End production is THE genre-defining murder mystery from the best-selling novelist of all time… case closed!
For over seven decades, the London production has provided an exceptional benchmark for the universal thrill of well-crafted live theatre.
Agatha Christie is the world’s best-selling novelist of all time, with an estimated 2 billion books sold. Besides having written the world’s longest-running play, she is also the only female playwright to have ever had three plays running simultaneously in London’s West End.
Brimming with her signature blend of intrigue, sophisticated humour and surprising twists, THE MOUSETRAP bears the irresistible and timeless mark of its beloved author.
Perhaps the reason THE MOUSETRAP appeals to a wide range of audiences and age groups lies in its clever dramatic formula. The iconic set-up, which has inspired countless other murder mysteries, puts audiences in the position of not just passive observers, but active participants. Nothing’s quite as fun as playing detective from your seat, knowing every colourful character is a suspect, and trying to piece it all together yourself in real time.
It’s deceptively simple… and simply genius!
