About the show
Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated the world with silent clues, shifting shadows and the best kept secret in theatre history.
A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.
Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: who among them is capable of murder?
Step inside Monkswell Manor, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.
West End production

As part of the 75th anniversary celebrations, the production has been extended in the West End to 3rd January 2027.
