The carefully directed cast of The Mousetrap at Georgetown Palace Playhouse breathes life into Christie's meticulously crafted characters. From the charming yet elusive innkeepers to the eccentric guests who arouse suspicion, every actor adds depth to the play's intricate tapestry. As the plot thickens, the audience is immersed in a maze of clues and red herrings, an enthralling challenge that encourages them to uncover the truth concealed beneath layers of deception.

Katie Boyle, Lady Saunders, Italian-born British actress, television personality, agony aunt and game-show panellist, dies peacefully at home, her agent confirms.

The scene is set when eight strangers 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.  

Based on an extraordinary true story, Stalking the Bogeyman follows renowned journalist David Holthouse's secret plot to murder the man who raped him when he was seven years old, and highlights the complexities of childhood sexual assault. Following a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run, where the New York Times called the play 'a riveting true story that has only deepened with its trip to the stage', the play is now receiving its UK premiere.

For more than 56 years, THE MOUSETRAP has been thrilling audiences in London's West End. The longest running play in the world first opened at The Ambassadors Theatre in 1952 and starred the great Sir Richard Attenborough. Since then, many illustrious actors have taken roles in 'The cleverest murder mystery of the British Theatre' (The Daily Telegraph). The origins of the play prove Christie was a favorite with the British Royal family.
