Agatha Christie’s iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and
longest-running play. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff
at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon
becomes clear that the killer is among them and the seven strangers grow
increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on
skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a
spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped
to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car
has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for
everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate,
culminating in a brilliant surprise finish.

 “A still-marvelous whodunit... fiendishly fabulous... The Mousetrap deserves
to make a killing.” – Chicago Sun-Times

“The Mousetrap, of course, is a masterpiece of misdirection. Thriller
writers are like magicians and mind readers; the best of them constantly
persuade you to look in the wrong direction, to think about anything but
the actual logic of the plot. Of all the stage versions of Christie’s
books, The Mousetrap is by far the best, perhaps because of its genesis as
a radio play. – The Chicago Tribune

Casewell, Barb Howitt as Mrs. Boyle, Assad Khaishgi as Mr. Paravicini,
