Record Breaking Play, Agatha Christie's THE MOUSETRAP, Hits Exeter

The longest-running show of any kind in the history of British theatre, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, will visit Exeter for a week in July.

To celebrate 60 incredible years on stage, it's going on tour for the first time to give audiences a once in a life-time opportunity to see this masterpiece at Exeter Northcott Theatre.

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow 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.

"The cleverest murder mystery of British Theatre" THE TELEGRAPH

"A truly entertaining classic thriller" THE SUNDAY TIMES

"Deservedly a classic among murder thrillers" THE OBSERVER

The cast for the tour includes returning company member Karl Howman (Brush Strokes) as Mr Paravicini alongside: Joanna Croll (Sirens, Doctors) as Mollie Ralston, Ellie Jacob (DCI Banks, Misfits) as Miss Casewell, Christopher Gilling (ITV's Law and Order, BBC1's Silk) as Major Metcalf, Anne Kavanagh (Chichester Festival Theatre's Goodnight Mr Tom, August: Osage County at the National Theatre) as Mrs Boyle, Henry Luxemburg (Hollyoaks, Hotel Babylon) as Giles Ralston, Ryan Saunders (Sweet Bird of Youth at the Old Vic, The History Boys UK tour) as Christopher Wren and Jonathan Woolf (Travelling Light at the National Theatre) as Sgt Trotter.

In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.
