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...
