A Record-Breaking West End Legacy
Earlier this year, The Mousetrap celebrated its 30,000th West End performance, earning a Guinness World Record for the longest continuous theatrical run.
The Agatha Christie murder mystery first opened in 1952, and more than 70 years later, continues to thrill audiences with its perfect blend of suspense, humour and intrigue.
The play is currently booking through to October 2026 at St Martin’s Theatre, London.
