Mousetrap, The
The world's longest-running play of any kind, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap is now in it's 52nd year!
A West End staple for over 50 years, The Mousetrap is the longest consistently running play in the history of British theatre.
This world record breaking production continues to enthral, to entertain and to thrill audiences who still flock 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 has been thrilling audiences from around the world for as long as Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne. They have shared Silver and Ruby jubilees and recently both enjoyed their Golden celebration.
During this phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 297 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 86 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 320 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.
In 2000 the set was replaced for the first time during the run at St Martin's Theatre, still to the same design as the original. This task was completed over a weekend without the loss of a performance.
Join the millions who have already discovered whodunnit, but will not share their secret...
Le Deuxieme
The latest addition to the Covent Garden restaurant scene, Le Deuxième is owned and managed by the same team as Le Cafe Du Jardin. After a long search for a suitable site that was close enough to Le Cafe Du Jardin to allow the same hands on approach of the owners, Le Deuxième was opened in September 2001 by the same team that continue to run Le Cafe Du Jardin so successfully.
