The Mousetrap ![]() The Mousetrap first opened in 1952 at The Ambassador's Theatre London and has been running continuously since then. It transferred to St Martin's Theatre on 25th March, 1974. Mousetrap is the world's longest running play of any kind. Tickets have been bought for Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap for over 50 years. The reputation of this murder mystery masterpiece goes from strength to strength as new generations of theatregoers flock to try to figure out who is guilty. The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a remote part of the countryside discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed. A cracking yarn and an irresistible treat for amateur sleuths everywhere! In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner. The Mousetrap has been thrilling audiences from around the world for as long as Queen Elizabeth II has been on the throne. They have shared Silver and Ruby Jubilees and recently both enjoyed their Golden celebration. During this phenomenal run there have been no fewer than 297 actors and actresses appearing in the play, 86 miles of shirts have been ironed and over 320 tons of ice cream sold. Some cast members are in the Guinness Book of Records, David Raven as the 'Most Durable actor' for 4575 performances as Major Metcalf, and the late Nancy Seabrooke for a record breaking 15 years as an understudy. In 2000 the set was replaced for the first time during the run at St Martin's Theatre, still to the same design as the original. This task was completed over a weekend without the loss of a performance. Join the millions who have already discovered who done it but will not share their secret!
