Review: THE MOUSETRAP at Guthrie Theater
by Joe Sarafolean - Mar 21, 2025
Murder, mayhem, mania, and melodramatics. These words usually only point in one direction, Agatha Christie. True to form, her iconic murder mystery play, The Mousetrap, includes all of these things and more. Placed in the very capable hands of the Guthrie Theater’s team, The Mousetrap has come to life in a devilishly delightful production.
