When I originally saw The Mousetrap in London way back in 1998, it was the world's longest continually running play. I'm not sure if it's still going in the UK but it's most definitely playing here, down under.

Last night I took the whole family to see this delightful and quintessential murder mystery acted out on the stage at Comedy Theatre in Melbourne. The play has all of Agatha Christies's trademark elements with red herrings and twists and turns a plenty. It's a very English drama from the golden era of crime writing created by the Queen of Crime herself.

I can't say too much about the play because I have been sworn to secrecy but I can say that if you are a fan of murder mysteries and a fan of Agatha's, you're going to enjoy this play!
