The play was great - really enjoyed it. The seats however - we were at the top, E9 and 10 - view of the stage was excellent but the seats were miserably uncomfortable (and we're both fairly average size people). Air conditioning was also a challenge but do appreciate it was unusually hot.

The performance was amazing, as were the actors. The props were very typical of that period- traditional English style. I particularly enjoyed the humorous dialogues combined with the suspense I felt throughout the play. Congratulations to the whole team!

The acting in this classic play was most engaging. The pace of the performance held audience attention in the moment. It is not hard to see why this is the West ends longest running production thank you to cast and crew for such an enjoyable event.
  • With an expertly crafted plot, filled with unbelievable suspense, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is nothing short of a masterpiece. The show has never failed to draw an audience that is thirsty to experience the mystery and thrill of sitting through this masterful performance. The Mousetrap tickets are available now!

    Widely regarded as one of the greatest crime-thriller writers of all time, it comes as no surprise that Agatha Christie’s play has not only survived but has also been running successfully for over half a century. The atmosphere is perfectly set and the actors play their roles flawlessly. David Raven, one of the prominent members of the original cast, made his mark in the Guinness Book of World Records as the ‘Most Durable Actor' with a stunning 4575 performances as one of the main characters in The Mousetrap, Major Metcalf. Hurry, book the Mousetrap tickets while stocks last.

    The Story

    Set in the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor in England, the story begins with the murder of Maureen Lyon. As Mollie listens to the announcement of the murder, her guests arrive in succession and introduce themselves. Terrifying events continue to occur in the house until the show concludes spectacularly with a jaw-dropping twist.

    Critics Reviews

    “At the end of this week, the world’s longest-running show will complete its 65th year in the West End. It is salutary to reflect that when it opened, Winston Churchill was prime minister and there was still rationing.”
    - Evening Standard UK

    “It has passed into the realm of great British institutions, as much a highlight of the tourist trail as the Tower Of London or Madame Tussauds.”
    - Sunday Express

    I was 10 when I read my first Agatha Christie novell, seen all of the movies and dreamed about seeing this play. It was great, loved the actors, the venue and the experience.

    Classic Agatha Christie; easy to see why this play has run for generations. The plot may be implausible (but that's Agatha!), but the cast is enthusiastic and the audience obviously enjoys the ride. And no, I won't share whodunnit.
