You just can’t beat family when it comes to riveting drama. Perhaps that’s because no one gets under your skin quite like the people you love and who know you best – and who are bonded to you by blood, like it or not.

Get your tickets to *The Mousetrap* at St. Martin’s Theatre today.

Great Britain produces legendary writers: William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Agatha Christie to name a few. Agatha Christie’s the most-read British female writer of all time, with an estimated 4 billion copies sold. Add that to *The Mousetrap*’s record-breaking West End run, and it’s fair to say that Agatha Christie changed the landscape of the English language. 

Agatha Christie didn’t think much of *The Mousetrap* when it first opened though. Christie originally wrote the play for radio, and it later became a play, that at the time, Christie thought would only run for around 8 months. *The Mousetrap* play was written as a gift for Queen Mary’s 80th birthday in 1947. Agatha Christie then gave her grandson, Mathew Pritchard, the rights to the play for his ninth birthday.

## What to Watch For

- Look out for the wooden sign at the entrance to St. Martin's Theatre — it tallies up the number of performances to date and will let you know which performance of this record-breaking show you are attending.
- The clock above the fireplace in the main hall is the same clock that was used on opening night in 1952.
- In 2012, a star-studded cast including Patrick Stewart, Julie Walters, and Tamsin Greig took part in *The Mousetrap*.
- Former cast members have given record-breaking contributions. One of the original cast members, David Guyler, provided the prerecorded voice of the newsreader in the shop.
- David Raven is in the Guiness Book of Records as the “Most Durable Actor” having performed 4,575 performances as Major Metcalf. The late Nancy Seabrooke also holds a record for an impressive 15 years as an understudy in *The Mousetrap.*

Agatha Christie's '<a href="/show/the-mousetrap">The Mousetrap</a>', opened in the West End on the 25th November 1952, which means it has been running for over 50 years making it the world's longest running play - an incredible achievement for any play and one that the producers are rightly proud of. In the course of the first 50 years, according to the programme notes, over 10 million people have seen the show and over 395 tons of ice cream have been sold!So what is the show's success? Part of it has to do with the fame of playwright Agatha Christie. In 1962 UNESCO announced that she was the most widely read British writer in the world, beating even Shakespeare, who came a miserable second. As the creator of such famous sleuths as Miss Jane Marple and the famous French, sorry Belgian, Detective Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie is the most famous 'whodunnit' crime writer of all time. Who has not heard of "Death on the Nile" or "Murder on the Orient Express"?Agatha Christie's fame has surely played a part in this show's success. In the 1950's Christie's books were regularly in the top sellers list. It was hardly surprising that a play, which has never been published or turned into a movie or tv programme, should attract avid fans. Since that initial enthusiasm the show has now become one of the essential things to do on many a tourists schedule - go to Buckingham Palace, visit the Tower of London and see 'The Mousetrap'.The play is your regular 'whodunit' mystery. Eight people are snowed in at a guest house: Mollie and Giles Ralston, the owners; four invited guests, each with eccentric characteristics; the unexpected guest, who turns up out of the blue after his car overturns in the snow storm; and finally a skiing detective. Once everyone has arrived it is not long before a murder takes place and the detective assembles all the guests together and interrogates them one by one. Each avoid the truth, some by silence and others by lies? Can the murderer be caught before more deaths happen?The story, whilst sensational and full of silly coincidences, is actually quite good. The characters are, despite their histrionics, vivid and they interact amongst themselves with macabre amusement. There are enough false clues to keep you guessing and a few hidden ones that mean if you stay alert you will not be too surprised to discover that the murderer is ****. Just kidding! If you want the answer to that question then you will need to go and see this quintessentially English murder mystery for yourself.NOTE: The star rating was added to this review by the editor after original publication<a href="/show/the-mousetrap">The Mousetrap Tickets</a> are now on sale.&nbsp;

The Mousetrap Review

The Mousetrap - 1200 - LT - 300522

AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP is the world’s longest-running play. This thrilling West End production – which has become as much of a London icon as Big Ben or Buckingham Palace – is THE genre-defining murder mystery from the best-selling novelist of all time… case closed!

As news spreads of a murder in London, 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! Which one is the murderer?  Can you solve the mystery before another “mouse” goes SNAP? 

For almost 70 years, AGATHA CHRISTIE’S THE MOUSETRAP has kept millions of people from every corner of the globe on the edge of their seats. HAVE YOUDUNNIT

The St Martin’s Theatre opened on 23 Nov. 1916. The building was designed as a pair with the [Ambassadors Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/ambassadors-theatre). 

Ricky Meyer was responsible for transferring the theatre’s current tenant, *The Mousetrap*, from the next-door Ambassadors Theatre to the larger St Martin’s, to continue its record-breaking run. The production began in 1952 and has been performed on the London stage ever since.

## St. Martin's Theatre Seating Information

The auditorium has three levels - Stalls, Dress Circle and Upper Circle.

Although the Dress Circle overhangs the Stalls at Row J the obstruction does not block anything. All seats in the Stalls have a good view of the stage.

The overhang of the Upper Circle doesn’t affect the view from any seat in the Dress Circle. 

Whilst the Upper Circle does not feel far from the stage, the view from the first two rows is impaired by a safety bar running along the front. 

## Where is *The Mousetrap* in London?

*The Mousetrap* is at St. Martin's Theatre in London. St. Martin's Theatre is located on West Street. It's close to West End theatres including the Ambassadors Theatre.
