The Mousetrap is the worst whodunnit I have ever seen. Agatha Christie's murderers always seem to rely upon frankly unfeasible coincidence, luck and timing in order to stand a chance of getting away with it and this play is no exception. The denouement is really unsatisfying because it fails to answer so many questions about the story. The theatre was half-empty (this was a Friday night) and the staff seemed bored and uninspired.

The Mousetrap was value for money, wonderfully entertaining, lovely theatre and staff. Went to the theatre with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised at the twist and turns and humorous script.

It is even a thrill turning up! The St. Martin's Theatre is thoughtfully located nowhere near St. Martin's Lane (which itself is in Threatreland), but rather in West Street just off Charing Cross. To be honest, however, it is easy enough to find and only a short stroll from west end tubes (we got out at Picadilly).

The building is a charming old theatre, quite petite by some standards, but that adds to the dark atmosphere of the play that unfolds. Despite holding less than 500, the St. Martin' ...
