The Mousetrap
Interesting review here by an American student in London:
On Wednesday we went down to Leicester Square and checked the Half Price Theatre Tickets. We let availability and price dictate what we saw, and wound up seeing The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie.
This production was excellent. We saw it at the St. Martin’s Theatre, which seemed to be rather old, and apparently this was the longest running show in England. While the acting certainly ranged from good to very good, with no particular weak links nor any real stand outs, what struck me the most were the technical aspects. The snow falling outside the window looked incredibly realistic. Actors coming in from the snow had snow on their clothing which actually melted as the jackets remained on stage. Lighting outdoors matched a Winter Afternoon to Evening transition, and seemed to match up with the lines very well. One murder done on stage was matched up with a radio program, and the voicing on that did sound old and very sinister.
The audience laughed most about jokes to do with class and poking fun at the English in general.
Mousetrap still going strong
