Wonderful show, with a twist I didnt suspect. Only downside was the seats were uncomfortable but good value. 🙂
Very enjoyable. It’s classic Agatha Christie - big house, pompous characters, plot twists etc. The set was very good and the acting largely excellent. Ignore the haters, it’s good fun
Dull as dishwater. Wish we had left at the interval as I saw another couple do so. Felt like an am dram production (we regularly support am dram) however at london prices we expected better. We knew it was fairly low tech which is fine, hpwever the script was awful and the jokes they tried at add were just cringey. The theatre is lovely however. I bought these as a Xmas present for the in laws and had to apologise at the end. Please see something else!
It was my second time watching Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre, the first time being more than 10 years ago, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. While I already knew who the murderer was, I was able to focus more on the acting and see if I could spot the subtle clues that each character portrayed. Being a great Christie fan, I must say this is indeed in her hallmark style of red herrings. Loved it! ❤️
The play is cult. Even for people who are not perfect at English. The theatre very old and with a lot of charm. One point deduction for the very tight seats and zero legroom.
I loved it but I do love Agatha. It was booked last minute and so pleased we did it. The cast were brilliant 👏 👌
Went back to see the play after many years ,really enjoyed the play ,if I have a complaint it’s about the seats they were so uncomfortable and should be upgraded and I wasn’t the only one to find it bad so many people were fidgeting around the man in front even resorted to leaning forward throughout the second half .
We loved seeing this show — it was entertaining and the perfect length for our first night in London. However, be advised that the seats are very tight!
Superb suspense with great actors. We really enjoyed this show. So much fun, we may go again.
Really a wonderful way to spend the evening. Had a drink up in the bar before the play, got good last minute seats, and loved the actors and staff. KUDOS, we highly recommend it.
