The Story
Written by the Queen of mystery, The Mousetrap is drawing crowds more than six decades after its first production. The story is a classic country house mystery with a group of occupants and an unhinged murderer amongst them. The play is set in the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, which is run as a guesthouse by a newly married couple, Mollie and Giles Ralston. A sundry group of six guests arrive at the manor, including a detective in search of the murderer. The play narrates the story of the murder, the connection of the guests with the killing, and ends with an explosive reveal.
