The Story

Critics Reviews

“At the end of this week, the world’s longest-running show will complete its 65th year in the West End. It is salutary to reflect that when it opened, Winston Churchill was prime minister and there was still rationing.”
- Evening Standard UK

“It has passed into the realm of great British institutions, as much a highlight of the tourist trail as the Tower Of London or Madame Tussauds.”
- Sunday Express

The feeling of history and the language was excellent, the costumes convincing. The players were animated, very good projection and elocution. Comedic timing was spot on. The music added beautifully to the voices, and importantly was at an appropriate level. In many theatres, particularly movie theatres, the music is uncomfortably loud and can drown dialogue. Our seats were at the last row back on the ground and still had a very good sense of engagement. St Martin's Theatre is beautiful and intimate. There was a slight musty smell throughout, though not to distraction. Overall, the experience was wonderful and memorable. Thank you !

A great story with a great twist ending. Not only was the show great but the theatre itself adds to the spectacle of the evening.

The cast amazing! They all could really project--which was good because we sat in the upper circle (E11 and E12). These were good seats; we could see the entire stage. I just really had a wonderful time. The Mousetrap is engaging and entertaining; I'd watch it again.

Fabulous show, a classic that lived up to its excellent reputation. We thoroughly enjoyed the full experience including the quaint little theatre and cosy atmosphere in the audience. During the break everyone could be heard sharing their theories of 'who dunnit' :)

The play was really terrific! The theatre was full of ambience-- however the view from our seats cut-off the top of the theatre set.
