A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and an old woman who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a police officer, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, than someone is killed. Two down and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the police officer probes the background of everyone present, and rattles many skeletons. Another famous
Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.
Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap" will open on April 23 and run through May 3. Performances will be on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 PM and Sunday matinees at 2:15 PM. Tickets will go on sale April 13 for HCCT members and April 16 for the general public.
