The Mousetrap, the legendary whodunnit from Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie, is currently on a major national tour starring Gwyneth Strong (Only Fools and Horses) as Mrs Boyle, directed by Gareth Armstrong.
This unstoppable West End hit has been delighting theatregoers for 67 years with its macabre murder mystery. Following a record-breaking 60thanniversary debut tour in 2012, this timeless thriller The Mousetrap returns by popular demand, enjoying an extensive new tour that is currently travelling the length and breadth of the country giving audiences all across the UK the opportunity to discover theatre’s best-kept secret.
The Mousetrap will visit the Theatre Royal Nottingham from Monday 17 to Saturday 22 June 2019.
First seen at the Theatre Royal Nottingham in October 1952, starring Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sim, The Mousetrap went on to become the world’s longest running stage production following its West End transfer to The Ambassadors in 1952 and St Martin’s in 1973. The Mousetrap continues its open-ended run at St. Martin’s Theatre, London, continuing a record-breaking run with over 27,500 performances so far. The beloved murder mystery returns to the road following the success of the first ever UK tour in 2012.

Trotter), Nick Biadon (Giles Ralston), Lewis Chandler (Christopher Wren), John Griffiths (Major Metcalf), Harriett Hare (Mollie Ralston) and Saskia Vaigncourt-Strallen (Miss Caswell).
