The Mousetrap at 60
The Smart Set: It’s a mystery far greater than the one it enacts: the continued life of Agatha Christie’s creaky whodunit, The Mousetrap. Not only has this play been running in London since 1952 — making it, apparently, the longest-running play in the world — it is regularly performed in middle schools and high schools, on the amateur circuit, and, occasionally, on professional stages outside the West End. It’s the board game Clue, given life-size dimension and English accents: Six characters and a detective, trapped in a snowstorm at a cozy English guesthouse, each with motive for a recent murder. Whodunit?
