A murderer is on the loose in Christie’s classic tale Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, which contains the best kept secret in British theatre, returns to Eastbourne from September 23-28, at the Devonshire Park Theatre. This year’s show stars Susan Penhaligon. The mystery was first seen in Nottingham in 1952 and went on to become the world’s longest-running stage production following its West End transfer to The Ambassadors in 1952 and then to St Martins in 1973 consecutively where it has played ever since. A spokesperson said: “A snow storm closes in on the newly opened guest house, Monkswell Manor. But a murderer is on the loose. Guests arrive one by one, and Christie weaves her magic. As we meet each character we are drawn further into the world of intrigue and misdirection. Of course, Monkswell Manor is cut off from the outside world and of course that murderer is already in their midst...” Shows start at 7.45pm with Wednesday and Saturday 2.30pm matinees. Tickets on 01323 412000.
