AGATHA Christie's box office hit, The Mousetrap, will return to the New Theatre from Tuesday, September 27 to Saturday, October 1.

The production is back by popular demand following record-breaking sell out visits to the New Theatre in 2012 and 2014.

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed.

Famous around the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of theatre, The Mousetrap had enjoyed more than 26,000 performances in 50 languages.

Agatha Christie’s books have sold billions of copies around the world – more than any other author except Shakespeare and The Bible.

At one point she had three plays running at the same time in the West End, a feat never matched by any other woman. As successful as a playwright as she was as a novelist, her most famous characters are Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

Tickets cost from £10 to £31 and bookings are subject to a ticketing service charge (exemptions apply).
