THE MOUSETRAP

The Mousetrap at St Martin's Theatre is not so much a theatre production as a theatrical phenomenon. This historic production by has broken all box office records since it first opened in the West End in 1952 and has witnessed over 25,000 productions. It has been likened to Madame Tussaud's and the Changing of the Guard in terms of its cultural significance to the capital; a claim few can deny as it continues apace with no sign of old age through its 62nd Anniversary.

The synopsis follows the premise of trapping the protagonists of this thriller in a remote guest house called Monkswell Manor. The guest house is unavoidably snowed in when suddenly a murder is committed – thereby signalling that the murderer is among the guests. No one is what they seem. No one can get out. No one can contact the outside world.

Written by Agatha Christie (who predicted the production would run for a paltry eight months) The Mousetrap contains one of the most infamous plot twists ever penned in world dramaturgy and the audience are reminded at the beginning of the performance never to reveal a word to the outside world. If you want to know the secret of The Mousetrap, then like thousands of other theatre-goers, you will have to check availability and book your discounted tickets, click on the 'Book Now' button.

Detail  Detail
Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has kept audiences guessing for almost six decades. As it enters its 60th incredible year in November 2011, this world record breaking production continues to attract audiences to the St. Martin's Theatre from every corner of the globe. 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 Mousetrap 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. During the phenomenal 60 year run there have been no fewer than 382 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 116 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 415 tons of ice cream sold. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records - David Raven as the 'Most Durable Actor' for 4575 performances as Major Metcalf and the late Nancy Seabrooke for a record breaking 15 years as an understudy. And for the last 38 years, St Martin's Theatre has been the home of The Mousetrap - more than half of its record breaking run!
