Read: "A murder, a manor, and a mystery"

Perhaps Agatha Christie’s most well-known murder mystery, The Mousetrap is a play full of twists and turns.

Christie masterfully weaves humor and mayhem into a story about a group of strangers trapped in an English manor house during a terrible snowstorm. At least one of the group will be murdered, and one revealed to be the murderer.

This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.

History
"The Mousetrap" made its world premiere on Oct. 6, 1952 at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham. After a brief tour, it opened in London's West End at the Ambassadors Theatre on November 25. Directed by Peter Cotes, the play ran at the Ambassador until March 23, 1974, when it immediately transferred to the larger St. Martin's Theatre, next door, where it continues to this day. Having run consistently from 1952 to the present, "The Mousetrap" is the world's longest-running play.

“A masterpiece... Of all the stage versions of Christie’s books, "The Mousetrap" is by far the best.” – The Chicago Tribune

“A still-marvelous whodunit... fiendishly fabulous... "The Moustrap" deserves to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times
