Beginning July 2010 Alley Theatre will produce Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap during its popular ExxonMobil Summer Chills series. The perfect summer outing for Houstonians seeking a cool respite from the summer heat, ExxonMobil Summer Chills is a great way to introduce live theatre to first-timers, giving them an opportunity to thrill in suspenseful moments and unexpected revelations.
Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap begins performances Thursday, July 8, opens officially Saturday, July 10 and runs through Sunday, August 8 on the Hubbard Stage. Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap runs in rep. with St. Nicholas, by Conor McPherson, which runs July 15 - August 8, 2010 on the Neuhaus Stage.
Written by the undisputed mistress of the thriller genre, The Mousetrap follows a group of strangers - one of whom is a murderer - trapped in a boarding house during a snow storm. Is it the newlyweds whose rampant suspicions nearly wreck their marriage, or the spinster with the curious background? Perhaps it is the architect, the retired Army major, or the odd man who claims his car overturned in a snow drift?
Originally titled Three Blind Mice, Agatha Christie's famous story began as a 1947 radio play in tribute to Britain's Queen Mary. It was expanded into The Mousetrap and opened in London in 1952 proving more successful than anyone could have imagined - it continues to play to this day, making it the longest-running show in theatre history. Though it is well-known that Agatha Christie gave The Mousetrap to her grandson as a birthday present, no one could have realized at the time what a truly marvelous present it was.
