Agatha Christie’s classic play will open at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre on the 3rd September 2026.
It has been announced that The Mousetrap will embark on a brand new UK tour in 2026 as part of its 75th anniversary celebrations. The newly announced tour forms part of wider plans to mark the special occasion, with further plans yet to be announced.
Having opened in 1952, the classic whodunnit holds Guinness World Record for the longest theatrical run – a record it looks to hold for even longer as the show extends its run in the West End, now booking until the 3rd January 2027.
A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.
Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?
Step inside, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.
Full casting and creative team for the tour will be announced soon.
Earlier this year, The Mousetrap celebrated its 30,000 performance in London and is directed by Ola Ince with artistic direction by Denise Silvey and is produced by Brian Fenty.
