Clague Playhouse presents Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap from September 12 through October 5. Performances are on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30PM and on Sundays at 2PM.
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.
Directed by Ron Sternfeld, our cast features: Jon Fancher as Major Metcalf, Margaret Hnat as Miss Casewell, Barb Howitt as Mrs. Boyle, Assad Khaishgi as Mr. Paravicini, Corey Knick as Christopher Wren, Rowan Myatt-Jones as Sergeant Trotter, James Robert Newton as Giles Ralston, and Erin Williams as Mollie Ralston.
Talk-backs with the cast and crew will be held after the show on Saturday 9/13, Sunday 9/21, and Saturday 9/28.
