THE MOUSETRAP Will Embark on 75th Anniversary UK Tour

Agatha Christie’s iconic thriller and the world’s longest running play, The Mousetrap will embark on a major UK tour from September 2026 running through to 2027. The tour forms part of wider plans to celebrate The Mousetrap’s 75th anniversary year with more exciting celebrations to be announced. The West End production will also extend booking into its 75th year to 3 January 2027.

Full casting and creative team for the tour to be announced in due course.

Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated the world with silent clues, shifting shadows and the best kept secret in theatre history. Now, the record-breaking classic embarks on its 75th Anniversary Tour across the UK and Ireland.

A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.

Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?

Step inside, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.

Earlier this year the play celebrated its 30,000th performance in the West End and was presented with a Guinness World Records certificate for the record title longest theatrical run. The genre-defining murder mystery opened in 1952 and continues to enthral audiences at London’s St Martin’s Theatre, now booking into its 75th year in 2027.

The Mousetrap is produced by Brian Fenty.
