Agatha Christie thriller The Mousetrap, the world’s longest running play, is to go on a UK tour from September 2026, as part of celebrations to mark the show’s 75th anniversary.
Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated the world with silent clues, shifting shadows and the best kept secret in theatre history. Earlier this year the play celebrated its 30,000th performance in the West End and continues to enthral audiences at London’s St Martin’s Theatre, now booking into its 75th year in 2027.
A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.
Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?
Step inside, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.
The Mousetrap is produced by Brian Fenty. The London production at St Martin’s Theatre is directed by Ola Ince with artistic direction by Denise Silvey.
Full casting and creative team for the tour is to be announced in due course.
The West End production is now booking until January 3, 2027. Tickets here.
