The Mousetrap
A snowbound guesthouse becomes the scene of another murder.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
A group of strangers are trapped by heavy snow inside Monkswell Manor, where news of a recent London killing soon takes on immediate significance. When a police sergeant arrives on skis and warns that the murderer may be among them, secrets and suspicions make every guest a possible target or culprit.
In the room
The play is a tightly contained whodunnit built from clues, red herrings and shifting alibis, with the solution traditionally kept secret by audiences.
Good fit if you like
country-house mysteries, closed-circle suspects, hidden identities and clue-led plotting.
