Solve theatre's most famous mystery
Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has enthralled audiences worldwide with its silent clues, deceptive shadows, and the most closely guarded secret in theatre. Now, the record-breaking masterpiece embarks on its 75th Anniversary Tour across the UK and Ireland.
A shocking murder shakes London to its core. Miles away, a secluded country guesthouse opens its doors to seven strangers taking shelter. But when a police sergeant arrives through a treacherous snowstorm with an unexpected warning, it becomes clear the danger may already be inside.
Every whisper hints at a clue. Every tale conceals a lie. And as suspicion closes in, one chilling question remains: Who among them is capable of murder?
Step inside and unravel the ultimate murder mystery that has left the world guessing for decades.
The Manor Awaits
Earlier this year, the play marked its 30,000th West End performance and received a Guinness World Records certificate recognising it as the longest-running theatrical production in history. First staged in 1952, this genre-defining mystery continues to captivate audiences at London’s St Martin’s Theatre.
The Mousetrap is produced by Brian Fenty.
