The Mousetrap

City Theatre opens its 12^th season with Agatha Christie’s true classic of all whodunit mysteries. The scene is set when a group of unsuspecting guests gather in a country house cut off by the snow and discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst! Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until, at the last, nerve-shredding moment, the identity and the motive are finally revealed. In her own inimitable style, “Queen of Crime” Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner. The show opened in London’s West End in 1952, and has been running continuously since with over 23,000 performances.
