Unravel the mystery of THE MOUSETRAP at St. Martin’s Theatre – Agatha Christie’s legendary whodunit that has kept audience guessing for over 70 years. Will you solve it before the final reveal?
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, a group of 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! One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? Can you solve the mystery before another “mouse” goes SNAP?
As Agatha Christie’s THE MOUSETRAP approaches 75 years in the West End, and its UK and Ireland tour continues to bring the iconic production to audiences nationwide, producer Brian Fenty announces plans to mark the anniversary of the longest-running show in the world. The plans include Hannah Chissick taking the reins as director of the West End classic, with a new company of actors joining the production as well as revitalised set, lighting and sound redesign, and a refurbishment of its historic home, St Martin’s Theatre. The milestone will be celebrated with a Gala Performance at St Martin’s Theatre on 25 November 2026.
With Chissick’s production of THE MOUSETRAP on its UK and Ireland tour, she will now direct the new West End cast. The new cast is Marcus Adolphy as Major Metcalf, Jonathan Cobb as Detective Sergeant Trotter, Rosa Curri-Fulford as Miss Casewell, Dean Graham as Mr Paravicini, Dan Nicholson as Giles Ralston, Jake Rory as Christopher Wren, Gay Soper as Mrs Boyle, and Sarah Twomey as Mollie Ralston. The new cast begin performances on 11 November 2026.
