The Mousetrap is an Agatha Christie crime play, staged in Copenhagen at Folketeatret. It is a theatre performance rather than a film or exhibition, so the visit is an evening of live drama.
The story
A group of strangers finds itself snowed in at Monkswell Manor, a remote guesthouse. Over the radio they hear of a murder nearby, and a skiing police inspector soon arrives. The killer, the play suggests, may well be somewhere among the guests. When a second murder takes place, fear spreads through the house, and everyone becomes both a suspect and a possible next victim.
The visit
The production is presented on the Store Scene at Folketeatret, the venue's stage for larger productions. It suits anyone who enjoys a well-built whodunit, with a closed setting, a small cast of suspects and a slow build of suspicion. Those who like to try to work out the culprit before the reveal will find plenty to test their guesses.
