Agatha Christie's classic murder-mystery The Mousetrap has been keeping the West End guessing for 70 years.
Seven guests are enjoying their stay in a remote country house when the weather takes a turn for the worse and snows them in.
The conversation turns to a murder in London and when Detective Sgt Trotter arrives at the door they discover - to their horror - that the killer is in their midst!
As he interviews each person in turn he reveals that they're all hiding a sordid past... but which one is the killer? And who will be their next victim?
The eight murder suspects

Mollie Ralston has just inherited Monkswell Manor and opened it as a guesthouse. But what is she hiding? Giles Ralston is Molly's husband and is very quick to judge the guests.
Christopher Wren is a flamboyant architect with an inappropriate sense of humour, whilst Mrs Boyle's strong-will and uncompromising attitude make her a challenging guest.
Major Metcalf on the other hand, is an affable gentleman who seems all too keen to help his hosts. But why? Mr Paravicini is the complete opposite - a total rogue who acts as if he's visiting from another era.
Miss Casewell is about as aloof as you can get, and totally unwilling to discuss anything... and then there's Detective Sgt Trotter himself, the young detective who's come to Monkswell Manor to crack the case. Could it be him?
The world's longest-running play
Agatha Christie's classic whodunnit has enjoyed a record-breaking run at St. Martin's Theatre, and has been enthralling audiences for over 28,000 performances across seven decades.
The greatest crime writer of all-time crafted a brilliantly intricate plot that will keep you guessing until the very end. Will you be able to solve the mystery before the truth is revealed?
What the theatre critics say...
Sunday Times: "A truly entertaining classic"; The Observer: "Deservedly a classic among murder thrillers"; Daily Telegraph: "The cleverest murder mystery of the British Theatre. I think The Mousetrap could run forever"; Financial Times: "The Mousetrap is to West End Theatre what the ravens are to the Tower of London"; Daily Express: "Even more thrilling than the plot is the atmosphere of shuddering expense. No one brews it better than Agatha Christie"
