Agatha Christie's - The Mousetrap
The Mousetrap is more than a play. It’s a British institution. Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is a quintessentially British ‘whodunnit’, as it follows a murder investigation before the murderer is shockingly revealed. The Agatha Christie play is part of the West End fabric — since opening in 1952, The Mousetrap is the world’s longest-running play of all time.
Decades later, generations of theatregoers are still thrilled and shocked by what happens at Monkswell Manor. Whether you’re a West End tourist who wants to discover the classic shows, or you’re wanting to see every show in London, you need to put The Mousetrap on your show list.
What is The Mousetrap about?
Five guests arrive for a relaxing holiday to the newly-opened Monkswell Manor, a Berkshire bed and breakfast. As they find themselves gathered in a remote part of the countryside during a blizzard, they’re stuck indoors and are left with no choice but to speak to one another.
To their surprise, Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives on the hotel doorstep and informs the hotel guests of a nearby murder — and they’re all suspects. Everyone is questioned and seems to fit the murderer’s descriptions, especially when characters begin to reveal their shady pasts. The guests and hotel owners are whittled down one by one until the murderer is shockingly revealed.
As The Mousetrap play is a ‘whodunnit’ and revealing the murderer would ruin the secrets, we’re going to end The Mousetrap synopsis here. You’ll have to see The Mousetrap play on stage to find out the full picture.
