Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has announced new casting for the West End production.

The iconic murder mystery, officially the longest-running play in the world, is set to welcome new company members from 12 May 2025.

Appearing will be Georgina Duncan as Mollie Ralston, Sam Hollis as Giles Ralston, Adam Woolley as Christopher Wren, Lucy Tregear as Mrs Boyle, Neil Reidman as Major Metcalf, Chloe Fenwick-Brown as Miss Casewell, John Wark as Mr Paravicini, and Jack Condon as Detective Sergeant Trotter.
