First seen in Nottingham in 1952 starring Richard Attenborough and his
wife Sheila Sim, The Mousetrap went on to become the world’s longest running
stage production following its West End transfer to The Ambassadors in 1952 and
St Martins in 1973 where it has played ever since, continuing a record-breaking
run with over 27,500 performances in London so far. The beloved murder mystery
returns to the road following the success of the first ever UK tour in 2012.
