In the vernacular of the production, everything about it is quite satisfactory. Solid performances, handsome and functional staging, etc. It is all quite lovely. This production overall, however, fails to breakthrough. Christie’s script and characters are, as many of her works multifaceted and deliciously intertwined. As we get to know more about each of them over the course of the just short of two and a half hours (with one 15-minute intermission) information that makes all potential suspects much in the way the popular 1974 film Murder On The Orient Express did. This production is flat and rather two dimensional. Although the audience laughed in all the right places, we were never really drawn in. We watched the action play out before us, but the multitude of wait-what, and a-ha moments seemed to fall short not crossing the proscenium to connect with the audience members in the way they should. I will say that for me personally, , Matt Sullivan’s performance as Mr. Paravicini achieved the level of mysterious particularly well.

The Guthrie Theater has released a teaser video for its production of The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, directed by Tracy Brigden. A group of strangers quickly become suspects as they race to uncover the murderer among them.

Murder, mayhem, mania, and melodramatics. These words usually only point in one direction, Agatha Christie. True to form, her iconic murder mystery play, The Mousetrap, includes all of these things and more. Placed in the very capable hands of the Guthrie Theater’s team, The Mousetrap has come to life in a devilishly delightful production.

The Guthrie Theater has announced the company and related events for its upcoming production of The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, directed by Tracy Brigden.

This outstanding production of AS YOU LIKE IT is a perfect introduction for Shakespeare newbies and delivers a high-quality performance for the most ardent of Shakespeare aficionados. The directorial vision is beyond remarkable.
