With over 60 years’ of performances under its belt, Agatha Christie’s murder mystery, The Mousetrap is the longest-running play in the world. Now a staple of London’s theatreland, The Mousetrap is a gripping murder mystery set in the isolated Great Hall of the eerie Monkswell Manor.
When Mollie and Giles Ralston acquire Monkswell Hall as a guesthouse, they don’t expect their first four guests, Miss Casewell, Major Metcalfe, Mrs Boyle and Christopher Wren, to be trapped in the house in a sudden snowstorm, along with the stranded traveller Mr Paravicini. After a call from the police, Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives on the scene to warn everyone that a murderer is on the loose and could be approaching the hotel that very night but little do they know, he or she is already there…
A masterful whodunit, The Mousetrap theatre breaks will have you guessing the identity of the murderer right up until the last second.
The Mousetrap theatre breaks will make you realise why this enthralling play is famous both for being the longest-running play in the world, and for its ending, which the audience is traditionally requested not to disclose.

Recommended age: 12+. Young children are admitted at the discretion of the theatre but they must have their own seat and adults will be asked to remove noisy infants.
The St Martin’s is quite a small theatre, making the cheap seats in the Upper Circle broadly very good for view, though bad for legroom, so aim for aisle seats. The front row in particular is praised for its view of the production, and would make for an excellent yet cheap theatre break.
