Stagehouse Theater


The Mousetrap

Written by Agatha Christie

Directed by Omri Schein

 

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discovers, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until the last nerve-shredding moment, the identity and motive are finally revealed.

 

Brimming with intrigue, sophisticated humor, and surprising twists, Agatha Christie’s iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and longest-running play.
