TWN's The Mousetrap

Step into the snow-bound world of Monkswell Manor and become part of theatrical history. Written by Agatha Christie, The Mousetrap opened in London in 1952 and holds the title of the world’s longest-running play on the West End. ? In this timeless whodunnit: newly-wed innkeepers Mollie and Giles Ralston open their guest–house in a remote manor house during a snowstorm. One by one, a motley group of guests arrives including an unexpected visitor whose car “just got stuck in the snow.” ? Then a murder occurs, the telephone line is cut, the snow isolates the house and everyone is under suspicion. What unfolds is a classic Christie set-up of locked-room tension, unexpected twists and the moment when everybody realizes the murderer is among them. ? “An engaging blend of classic structure and finely tuned ensemble work. It honours Christie’s legacy while feeling alive in the present moment…”-The Sound On Stage ? “...one of the best whodunits of all time will keep the audience guessing until the very end.”- The Commentator
