Solve the world’s longest-running murder mystery

Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has enthralled audiences in the heart of London, becoming the longest-running play in theatre history. With its silent clues, shifting suspicions and one of the best kept secrets ever written, this legendary thriller continues to keep the West End guessing night after night.

Now booking into a record-breaking 75th year, this landmark production remains as thrilling as ever. A shocking murder. Seven strangers snowed in at a remote country guesthouse. A police sergeant arrives with a warning no one expects.

Cut off from the outside world, suspicion falls on everyone as secrets unravel and tensions rise. Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as fear tightens its grip, one question lingers in the air: Who among them is capable of murder?

Step inside the St Martin’s Theatre and solve the genre-defying whodunnit for yourself.

The manor awaits.
