Mousetrap 70th 600X400

The Mousetrap

Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap returns to The Courtyard this summer.

The Mousetrap is the world’s longest-running play, and this West End production is considered to be the genre-defining murder mystery from the best-selling novelist of all time.

As news spreads of a murder in London, a group of seven strangers find themselves snowed in at a stately countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover – to their horror – that a killer is in their midst! One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Audiences are challenged to guess which one is the murderer and who their next victim will be.

As part of The Courtyard’s commitment to being as inclusive and accessible as possible, there will be an Audio Described performance on Thursday 29 June at 2.30pm. Audio Description consists of a narrator talking through the performance, describing what is happening on the stage during the natural pauses in the dialogue through a discreet headset.

Following its 1952 premiere touring production, The Mousetrap opened in the West End where still to this day, it continues its record-breaking engagement at the St Martin’s Theatre having been performed there over 29,000 times, selling over 10 million tickets.

For almost 70 years, The Mousetrap has kept millions of people from every corner of the globe on the edge of their seats.

The Mousetrap will be in The Courtyard’s Main House from Monday 26 June – Saturday 1 July at 7.30pm, plus 2.30pm matinee performances on Thursday and Saturday. To book tickets, or for more information contact the Box Office on 01432 340555 or visit www.courtyard.org.uk.
