The Moustrap has announced that it will continue on with its first ever and record breaking tour in 2015.

As previously reported, the tour initially began in 11 September 2012 as a celebration of the show's 60th anniversary.

Agatha Christie's long-running murder mystery has been seen in all seven continents since its premiere.

The production originally opened at the St Martin's Theatre in 1952 starring the late Richard Attenbourgh and his wife, Sheila Sim.

It's the longest running theatre production in history and has had over 25,000 performances to date.

The 2015 tour of The Mousetrap will kick off on 28 April 2015 at His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen. The Mousetrap continues at the West End's St Martin's Theatre.
