About The Mousetrap play by Agatha Christie
The Mousetrap has now been running for almost 70 years during which time over 28,500 performances have been given. It is quite simply a great piece of theatrical history written by the greatest crime writer of all time.
This world record-breaking production of The Mousetrap continues to enthral, to entertain and to thrill audiences who still flock to the St Martin's Theatre in London 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....
