The production originally opened in 1952 starring the late Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sim. In 1958, it became the world's longest running stage production when it exceeded the run of Chu-Chin-Chow.
Now in it's 60th year, the Mousetrap has been licensed around the world to celebrate this milestone for the ultimate stage whodunnit.
Douglas Mayo has had a life long love affair with musical theatre. He has authored several books on publicity and marketing for amateur theatre groups. He is in the process of developing a musical based on his original story concept.
