Critics Reviews

“At the end of this week, the world’s longest-running show will complete its 65th year in the West End. It is salutary to reflect that when it opened, Winston Churchill was prime minister and there was still rationing.”
- Evening Standard UK

“It has passed into the realm of great British institutions, as much a highlight of the tourist trail as the Tower Of London or Madame Tussauds.”
- Sunday Express

Good without being overwhelmed. Strong acting but the scenery could have been more changeable. Compared to a musical, I find it a lesser experience for the same price.

I knew nothing about the show and due to the skill of the actors expertly enacting the script was unable to identify the mureder until the end, (so many red-herrings). Acting was good plus a set that transported you back to 1950's England. Excellent all-round.

It was the first "play" and the second theatre experience in London for my 9 year old son. He got so immeresed into the story with the first 5 mins into the play that we were amazed. By the break time he was bustling with theories on the "whodunit" and characters. Our stall seats were booked last min, just ealier in the day and turned out to be by best viewing experience of all the 10 or 20 previous experiences. I think it was compact sets and amazing acting. I highly recommend this as a play for fire time viewers. Other theatre experiences like musicals might be a bit over whelming for first timers. This one I felt could be the perfect introduction to some amazing live performance and acting which theartes especially in London are so famous for. I would recommend a quick pre theatre dinner around although you should still find some good uncrowded spots around after the 730 shows finishes. Carry a water or drink!! I am not sure if it was the gripping drama or I was just plain tired to want to keep sipping on some water. It was a packed but cozy theatre in the stalls. And don't miss taking pics with the Mousetrap show counter which we missed as we had to catch dinner after!!

Very persuasive and enthusiastic performances. No songs. A wonderful theatre -- 100+ years old, quaint, charming and packed with a buzzing audience who helped create a wonderful atmosphere.
