The Mousetrap Tickets
The Mousetrap is famous around the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre.
The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed.
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.

1071 reviews4.6Great play. Funny entertaining and well acted
Seats weren’t great and I found the greeter at the upper circle entrance a little unwelcoming and short. All other staff were helpful and polite, beautiful theatre but disappointed with seats chosen
Great fun and a charming little theatre!
Excellent performance. Comfortable seats. All staff courteous and polite.
Loved the performance, however we had trouble hearing Nicole Agada, the rest of the actors were very clear, but she was too softly spoken and did not enunciate well enough to be heard in the upper circle.
The show was good. However next time id pick different seats. We sat at the upper circle, seats were not comfortable and not much space.
We really enjoyed the show and the convenience of the theatre
Really enjoyable performance, loved the story, the set and the ending!
Excellent
Loved it, everyone so helpful and that made the day
The show excellent Please stop people coming into theatre when show has started it’s not fair and spoils the ambience of the show
Old fashioned play but had humour, likeable characters and fabulous actors. I kept changing my mind as to “whodunnit” Our seats got upgraded to row C in the stalls as well so we had a much better seat.

London Theatre Review: The Mousetrap at St. Martin's Theatre
After 66 years and over 27,500 performances, it can simply be said that The Mousetrap has truly cemented its place in legend and on the streets of London. The famous ‘whodunnit’ that has wowed audiences time and time again is a staple for any fan of theatre and a tourist attraction for all others with the classic style of Agatha Christie firmly at the helm.
