The play will have another six months added to its booking period at St Martin’s Theatre - home to the show since 1974. The Mousetrap opened in London in 1952 and has celebrated over 20,000 performances across 58 years. The popular ‘Whodunnit?’ is one of Agatha Christie’s finest murder mysteries. Booking is available until 20 November 2010. A small group find themselves snowed-in at a remote hotel, when a detective arrives on the trail of a murderer. When one of the guests is strangled to death, it becomes apparent that the killer is already amongst them.  |
