The Mousetrap
For over 56 years The Mousetrap has been thrilling audiences in
London’s West End. The longest running play in the world first
opened at The Ambassadors Theatre in 1952 and starred the
great Sir Richard Attenborough. Since then many illustrious
actors have trod the boards in “The cleverest murder mystery of
the British Theatre” (The Daily Telegraph). The origins of the play
prove Christie was a favourite with the British Royal family. Sir
Peter Saunders, the original producer of The Mousetrap wrote:

- "When the late Queen Mary was approaching her eightieth
birthday she was asked by the BBC what she would like to
celebrate the event - anything from Shakespeare to opera.
Queen Mary said she would like 'an Agatha Christie play'
and Mrs Christie promptly wrote a thirty-minute radio
production called Three Blind Mice. This was eventually to
become The Mousetrap! "
"One of the most skillfully written murder mysteries ever produced" New York Times
"A truly entertaining classic thriller" The Sunday Times
"Deservedly a classic among murder thrillers" The Observer
"The cleverest murder mystery of the British theatre" The Daily Telegraph
