Stray Dog Theatre Kicks Off Season With THE MOUSETRAP Next Month

Stray Dog Theatre will kick off its twenty-first season with a production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap at the Tower Grove Abbey, opening on Thursday, February 1, 2024 and running through Saturday, February 17, 2024.

The Mousetrap made its world premiere on October 6, 1952 at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham. After a brief tour, it opened in London's West End at the Ambassadors Theatre on November 25. Directed by Peter Cotes, the play ran at the Ambassador until March 23, 1974, when it immediately transferred to the larger St. Martin's Theatre, next door, where it continues to this day. Having run consistently from 1952 to the present, The Mousetrap is the world's longest-running play.

The Mousetrap was written by Agatha Christie. The Mousetrap is presented through special arrangement with Concord Theatricals Corp.
