St. Martin’s Theatre  is celebrating 50 years playing host to Agatha Christie’s genre-defining murder mystery, The Mousetrap.

New casting has been announced for Agatha Christie's iconic thriller The Mousetrap, the longest running play in the world, which continues to enthral audiences at London's St Martin's Theatre. Find out who is joining the cast here!

The trial of Leonard Vole will continue at London County Hall as the run of Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution is extended to 25 September 2022. The hit production returned to the historic venue in September with a brand-new cast and was met by standing ovations and critical acclaim. 

Based on Agatha Christie’s 1925 short story, Witness For The Prosecution was well-established at London’s County Hall before the pandemic. It now makes a welcome return and is as ingenious as ever. We are all used to seeing television adaptations of Christie’s work, but Lucy Bailey’s creative version takes all the theatrics of a courtroom and translates it neatly into a truly immersive production.

New production images have been released for Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution.
