What To Expect

The Mousetrap

Make your own way to St Martin’s Theatre in central London, and take your seat for this classic murder-mystery stage play, adapted from Agatha Christie’s short story and radio drama of the same name. A fixture of London’s West End since its opening, this hugely entertaining play is the world’s longest running show, and tells the story of a group of people trapped by snow in a country house hotel, who discover, with nerve-jangling results, that one of them is set on a murderous mission.  Sit on the edge of your seat as the plot twists, turns and throws you on and off the scent with Christie's trademark, silky ease. Then, gasp aloud when the shocking identity of the murdered is finally revealed — one of the best-kept secrets in theater history!

Small theatre. So up close to the stage from most every seat. Who done it with laughs to keep it light as well as interesting.

Geat whodoneit! Seating is a little crowded. If you can afford it sit in front section of dress circle. Actors do not use microphones so they project well.
A little slow storyline

I enjoyed it, but would not be my first pick. Theater seats way to small and uncomfortable. People fell asleep.
Nice little experience

Show started on time and was well put on. Only minor issue is seats are tiny unless you are a small human.
A most pleasant experience

The atmosphere of both the theatre and performance was first rate. Really enjoyed everything about the experience. I would say the only negative point was the extreme lack of leg room on the upper circle. My leg was pressed against the seat in front and I am by no means a large person.
Engaging Performance

Watching The Mousetrap was a truly captivating experience that lived up to its legendary reputation. As an audience member, I was completely drawn into the suspenseful atmosphere, clever plot twists, and sharp dialogue that kept everyone guessing right until the final reveal. The cast delivered engaging performances with just the right balance of tension and wit, and the intimate set added to the feeling of being part of the mystery. It’s a classic whodunit done brilliantly—timeless, entertaining, and thoroughly satisfying.
