Brimming with intrigue, sophisticated humor and surprising twists, Agatha Christie's iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and longest-running play. The Mousetrap is about a group of strangers trapped during a snowstorm when a local woman is murdered. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate.
