The world's longest-running
play of any kind, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap
is now in it's 52nd year!
A West End staple for over 50 years, The Mousetrap
is the longest consistently running play in the history
of British theatre.
This world record breaking production continues to
enthral, to entertain and to thrill audiences who still
flock to the St Martin's Theatre from every
corner of the globe. 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 whodunnit,
but will not share their secret...
