The Mousetrap

Book The Mousetrap tickets in London

The Mousetrap is the longest-running play in the world at St Martins Theatre, Agatha Christie’s classic whodunnit still packing the West Street house night after night. Choose your date and official seats on the The Mousetrap tickets page on British Theatre.

A snowbound guest house, a murder, and a cast of strangers who may not be who they seem: the suspense still lands for first-timers and return visitors. Keep the ending to yourself. That is part of the tradition.

What a Mousetrap evening at St Martins Theatre feels like

Plan for about 2 hours, including one interval. Expect a classic drawing-room mystery, sharp dialogue, and a final twist the company asks you not to spoil. St Martins Theatre sits on West Street by Cambridge Circus, a short walk from Leicester Square and Covent Garden, with plenty of pre-theatre options nearby. Arrive on time: missing the opening scenes means missing vital clues.

Practical tips for The Mousetrap at St Martins Theatre

There is no formal dress code. Smart casual is typical. Leave time for West Street crowds and the theatre foyers. Outside food and drink are not usually allowed in the auditorium. Phones off once the show starts, and no photography during the performance. Latecomers are admitted at a suitable break, but arriving late to a mystery is a genuine risk.
