The Mousetrap to embark on 75th anniversary tour

Agatha Christie’s play The Mousetrap will tour the UK and Ireland from September 2026 as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations.

The production, which opened in 1952 and holds the Guinness World Record for the longest theatrical run, will continue its West End engagement at St Martin’s Theatre with booking extended to 3 January 2027.

The tour will run into 2027, with casting and creative team details to follow. Earlier this year, the play marked its 30,000th West End performance. The London production is directed by Ola Ince with artistic direction by Denise Silvey and is produced by Brian Fenty.

Performances in the West End take place Monday to Saturday at 7.30pm, with matinees on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 3pm.

Ticket prices start at £25, and the running time is two hours including an interval. A revised schedule will apply over Christmas 2025.
