Flash sale on tickets to see The Mousetrap from £25 per seat

Famously the world’s longest consistently running play – pandemic excepted – Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap has now been running for over 70 years, and is one of those plays that everyone is presumed to see once in their lives.

If you haven’t seen it, then one of their occasional flash sales on tickets is taking place at the moment.

The murder-mystery storyline is set in “the present”, presumably England as it was around the time when the play came out in 1952, including the postwar continuation of World War II rationing.

The play is based on a short story but Christie asked that the story not be published as long as it ran as a play in the West End of London, and it still hasn’t been published within the UK (although you can buy it overseas if desperate). Its long-running popularity is partly thanks to the fact that once you attend, you’re not supposed to tell anyone whodunit, keeping the secret safe for the next generation of theatregoers.

During the sale, seats that usually cost £42.50 are on offer for £25 for dayime performances.

The offer is valid Tuesday to Thursday performances up to 12th September 2024,excluding 22nd July to 28th August.
