Good It wasn't too captivating
Fehmida, 06 Dec 2024
Iconic An iconic play and a must see to be part of the longest running show in London felt like had gone back in time. A piece of nostalgia on a Wednesday night.....was great have fulfilled a childhood dream of wonder!
Melissa, 05 Dec 2024
Ein Klassiker den man gesehen haben sollte. Schönes, altes und kleines Theater, wie die meisten West -End Theater, leider recht beengt. Wenig Beinfreiheit und auch der Seiten Abstand zum Nachbarn fehlt leider.
Ich bin relativ gross und nicht übergewichtig, trotzdem stieß ich ständig an meinen Sitznachbarn 🤷
Aber die Show war es allemal wert, ich bin dafür gut 12 Stunden mit dem Reisebus gefahren.
Meine Sitznachbarn sind sogar extra für diese Show aus Kanada eingeflogen 😮
Die Geschichte wurde liebevoll umgesetzt, ein Klassiker den
man mal gesehen haben sollte.

A great whodunnit! A very well acted and entertaining show for all the family. My first visit to this theatre and this will not be my last - a fantastic old theatre with lots of character.
Matthew, 17 Oct 2024
Witty, clever unexpected. The show was brilliant. The mystery keeps you guessing. Definitely a must see.

A Play In It's 72nd Year! Just Go And See It For Yourself! It's a lovely little theatre, and I think wherever you sit you will be able to see it fine? It's a murder mystery by Agatha Christie, you have to figure out who done it, the actors are fabulous, the music is of the era and there are some laughs through out?! I can't tell you anymore, wee are told to keep the secret 🤐?!! Just enjoy the show!!!
Sara, 27 Sep 2024
Classic whodunnit Agatha Christie's writing draws you in. There are eight characters and very quickly it feels like you know each of them. Fun and clever plot.
Patricia, 27 Sep 2024
Worth waiting many years to see Great atmosphere in charming old theatre. Nostalgic play. Came from NZ, and this was a must, having been a Christie fan since childhood. Delightful
Caroline, 18 Sep 2024
Excellent Suspenseful and Fun Play Light hearted and fun play. Very good plot line with many surprises.
Enjoyed it very much and had a great dinner at the Ivy across the street.
James, 15 Sep 2024
A Fun Night At The Theater! It was wonderful to see this iconic British show on my recent trip to London. The show is such fun. This production was very entertaining and stumped my husband and I. Just when we thought we knew who the murderer was... nope, we were wrong. This was a really fun night.
Eleanore, 30 Aug 2024
A must see when in London Excellent overall for a theatre goer when visiting London
Staff very friendly and welcoming
Really enjoyable experience
Louise, 08 Aug 2024
Kept us Guessing Great show, all actors played brilliant part kept us guessing till the end.
Sue, 17 Jul 2024
Absolutely go and see it! If you love a mystery, whodunit or like me you adore Agatha Christie, it's an absolute must! Prepare to go back in time with true to life costume, set and hairstyles. But when you do see it, shhhhhh don't spoil it for anyone else!
Tracey, 13 Jul 2024
Brilliant Thriller Brilliant. Saw this about 40 years ago and couldn't remember who did the murder. Can't believe it has been going for 72 years!!
LINDA, 12 Jul 2024
Excellent play. Excellent play.
Good plot.
Very well acted.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Alison, 25 Jun 2024
Great play Very enjoyable

From our To Do list We live 250 miles away, The Mousetrap was on our To Do list and on the recommendation of friends we got there, well worth it
Peter, 27 May 2024
Super performance Very nice, cosy, charismatic theater and play. Enjoyed every minute of it👏🏻🫶🏻
Nicol, 22 May 2024
A memorable theatrical performance The acting was somewhat over the top but the actress playing the role as the co-proprietor was good. I think there was too much dashing about the stage. I advise other visitors to listen as keenly as possible to the delivery of the lines in order to fully appreciate the play in its entirety.
STEPHEN, 21 May 2024
The Mousetrap Mine & my wife’s first ever west end show, and there was zero disappointment. Great cast, great acting, some tasty ice cream at the interval & the only down side was it had to come to an end! Back to Edinburgh tomorrow with some great memories. Thank you.
David, 21 May 2024
Great show It's taken me 50 yrs to go but we'll worth it.
Paul, 08 May 2024
Brilliant night at the Mousetrap We saw the Mousetrap as a family.
Myself and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. So well acted and such an intimate little theatre. We were worried it might not appeal to our 3 teenage kids but they were totally engrossed and felt it was the best part of our trip to London.
Derek, 08 Apr 2024
Suspense till the end Enjoyed it very much but found it hard to hear the actors at times.
Stephen, 23 Mar 2024
Great fun. Fun and funny with a serious undertone. Good to excellent acting.
Anne, 21 Mar 2024
Fantastic Loved it, great acting and would watch it again!
Manmeet, 16 Mar 2024
Amazing Brilliant show, funny, interesting and excellent twist. I would go again and I know who done it!!!
Ben, 26 Feb 2024
A must see The show was great
Sally, 14 Feb 2024
Quite ordinary Storyline was expectedly not original and needed better character development to bring some excitement and originality to it. Failed on both counts. The main character was excellent, the rest struggled to make an impact. The situation development was good but then the directorial effort lacked the slick uncovering of the "who dunnit"
Deepak, 14 Feb 2024
Fun show Agatha christie fans would love it.
Aj, 24 Jan 2024
Great performance. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole event, fantastic old theatre, good acting and fun comedic moments. Well thought out plot by Agatha Christie. If you like Agatha Christie, you can’t help enjoying the play. I’m now a ‘partner in crime’ ?.
Dawn, 21 Jan 2024
West End classic Play been running for manyyears. Some voice projection could have been better - lead turned back on audience several times making it harder to hear
Expensive
Elaine, 19 Jan 2024
Really interesting and clever play! This show is one I would definitely recommend, I loved the old fashioned setting and the character development through the story. It had a great plot with humour and fun weaved throughout to keep you engaged. It's a long one though so make sure you wear something comfortable!
Seats are quite small and uncomfortable with little leg room and not great for tall people so that's the only thing which stopped it getting 5* from me!
Alice, 17 Jan 2024
My very first time attending The Mousetrap I loved Agatha Christie's crime tale, I found in it both mistery and comedy, exactly what I was expecting. My friends and I were completely satisfied. We felt the rithm of a comedy and the mistery of a famous crime story. It's funny and gripping at the same time. We enjoyed it very much.
Mara, 27 Dec 2023
One to tick off the bucket list Have been wanting to see this for 40 years. Unfortunately we had tickets for the first night that the theatres were shut down due to Covid!! Have just got around to rebooking and had a great time. It was not quite what I expected - I thought it would be entirely serious but it had some laughs which made it feel a bit more like farce than a straight play. Great plot, though and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Carolyn, 13 Dec 2023
A Wonderful Masterpiece Fabulous acting and a gripping story! Very humorous too! Loved it!
Natalie, 09 Dec 2023
Enjoyable Thoroughly enjoyed the show but the seats in the Upper Circle are awful, due to their shape, they are extremely uncomfortable
Jane, 07 Dec 2023
A must see! We booked these tickets as a last minute show during our trip to London, and it was one of the best things we did while we were here!!
The theatre itself was lovely and the staff could not have b more been more helpful.
Our seats were amazing and I would say that you would have a great view from anywhere in the theatre as it is a small and intimate setting.
The show was INCREDIBLE !!
The acting, the set, music and costumes were all amazing! It really got you thinking and we all tried to solve the mystery!! I would recommend this show and theatre to everyone.
I will definitely be back to this theatre if I get the opportunity!
Lucy, 05 Dec 2023
Who done it. Brilliant evenings entertainment. Organised and produced well.
Trevor, 27 Nov 2023
West end classic It's the Mousetrap, longest running show on west end. You should go see it.
tove, 19 Nov 2023
Excellent show Easy to see why this is the longest running show- thoroughly enjoyed the performance. Will recommend it to friends and family who are visiting London. Great last minute thing to do on a Thursday afternoon.
Hilary, 09 Nov 2023
Doesn't date. Waited a long time to see this - worth the wait! If you like Christie, period pieces, real theatre on a real stage - then this is for you!
Angela, 08 Nov 2023
Vintage Lots of shouting and running, lack of atmosphere of old English Manor House. The two actors , the owner of the Manor and the Sergeant very similar in looks and needed to check the costumes for recognition on occasion. Best acting from actors playing Mr Paravicini and Christopher Wren.
Overall very enjoyable and memorable performance.
Diana, 11 Oct 2023
Theatre at its most basic perfection Instead of the BIG BOLD and OVER THE TOP musical spectacular this was a treat. Good to get back to the basics of stagecraft without the clutter of singing, dancing, music, and over-the-top backdrops. A great time for all. The acoustics were a little weak so the sound system might be turned up as it was tough to hear at times.
Gregg, 01 Oct 2023
Excellent It’s understandable why this show has been running for the last 70 years.
Keeps you guessing all the time.
Cast was brilliant.
Tracey, 29 Sep 2023
Old school mystery It was nice to see they kept with the time period the book was written in. Interesting, funny, a mystery for sure. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys Agatha Christie.
Tricia, 24 Sep 2023
Fantastic performance. Everything was wonderful with the show including the performance by the actors in a beautiful theatre.
David, 21 Sep 2023
Very entertaining and in a beautiful theatre Loved the show and we had great seats which made it even better!
Julie, 04 Sep 2023
Loved the play itself, however The only thing that bothered me quite a lot is that the room wasn’t aired at all, and some people around smelled really badly throughout the show. The show itself was therefore breathtaking, however I’m not sure I’d like to spend any more time in that theatre.
Klaudia, 26 Jul 2023
Funny mystery show! Excellent mystery show, who done it??
Upper area steep steps but lovely 100 year old Theatre!
Wendy, 19 Jul 2023
Intrigue and humour My relatives from Australia joined me in watching this memorable play by Agatha Christie… We all thoroughly enjoyed it and found some of the acting performances really captivated the stage.
The only advice I would give to theatre visitors at the Saint Martins would be that, being one of the smaller theatres in London it can get quite warm so be ready to fold your coats!
Phillip, 13 Jul 2023
A must see classic, not affected by the passing of time. As a not-english person who doesn't speak english fluently, I could not fully appreciate all the dialogues, plays on words, puns, etc...
It was involving anyway.
Sergio, 13 Jul 2023
Loved this show Took my 23 year old son for his first time and he loved it. Wonderful fun.
Marikay, 05 Jun 2023
Disappointment I knew nothing about the story before the play. I just thought it wasn't a captivating thriller. The acting was good but the banging around opening slamming doors and the actors being so loud and animated was just not my cup of tea. But it's on of the bucket list so why not x
Sara, 22 Apr 2023
Outstanding! Great cast, a super cozy theater, and a snappy script make for a very memorable evening.
David, 19 Apr 2023
Great theatre experience We loved the show, as usual you find yourself working out which of the characters ‘did it’! The play kept the audience totally involved, the usual Agatha twist in the end. Very good.
PATRICIA, 17 Apr 2023
Engaging who dunit We loved this show! Very funny, and we didn’t guess the mystery!
Joy, 25 Mar 2023
As it has been going for nearly 70 years it is a show that should be on everybody's bucket list. My wife liked the wryness of the acting and enjoyed the experience except for the seating which is dreadful. I prefered the second half to the first half. Whereas my wife did not guess the culprit and who the other cast members were I did.
Ian, 25 Mar 2023
Fantastic show A must see.
Laura, 16 Mar 2023
Great show Fantastic show.
Unless you don't have legs do not book the restricted leg room seats in the upper circle. View was great but seats small.
Laura, 16 Mar 2023
Superb This show was excellent plenty of twists and turns that kept you guessing fantastic scenery and a wonderful cast
Nicole, 15 Mar 2023
Very entertaining Simple, but clever and slightly silly story, well acted and very entertaining. I loved the stage setting and all the little details.
Gill, 15 Mar 2023
The mystery of The Mousetrap Great plot didn't know the ending so it had me wondering all the time who dunnit!
David, 08 Mar 2023
Enjoyable Thoroughly enjoyed. A very cramped theatre so best take your seats quickly
Duncan, 03 Mar 2023
MUST SEE!!! Excellent show. If seats in centre arrive early to avoid everyone getting up.
ami, 03 Mar 2023
You Should Watch It Once in Your Lifetime I am happy that I was given an opportunity to watch this play, the longest running one in the world. I truly enjoyed it.
Jovana, 02 Mar 2023
Christie at her finest Very fun to get to see this west end tradition
The play is classic Christie, the acting is typical and well done, the place is nice, the set is tasteful,... A British must see!
Jordael, 14 Feb 2023
Enjoyable show It's been going as long as it has for a reason! Kept you guessing until the end
Ruth, 08 Feb 2023
Brilliant and not what I expected! A lot of humour, great story line and of course, the surprise who dunnit has you judging everyone and everything. Brilliant!
Susan, 07 Feb 2023
Great play Great acting, good twist and smooth production
Alex, 17 Jan 2023
Uncomfortable seat , no legs room, music from next door Unfortunately the show was ok but the seats was horrible . If you are bigger than a size 8 you will be touching your neighbour and if you are taller than 5 feet you'll have nowhere to put your legs as your seat almost touches seat at front . We could heat some music from next door, we heard the song " macarena" from next door and thought it was part of our show but wasn't. Next door was so loud we could hear them better than our show at some points, wafer thin walls. Seat are very hard and crammed , uper circle was extremely steep and definitely not for older people .
virginie, 14 Jan 2023
A must see! Great suspense & ‘who dunit’!!!
Darlene, 11 Dec 2022
Uncomfortable seating Good play all in all, but the theatre old, small seating affected my enjoying of the show. Time to redecor I think!
aulikki, 01 Dec 2022
Brilliant entertainment Good afternoons entertainment.
CHRISTINE, 16 Nov 2022
Extremely Entertaining The acting was glorious! So entertaining and comical.
LINDA, 25 Oct 2022
Very creative I enjoyed the show immensely
Thank you
Angela, 18 Oct 2022
Fun show Loved the show- good fun. Light entertainment but well done and good performances all round.
Zoe, 04 Oct 2022
No wonder it is still running! Took the kids and they loved it. Continually trying to work it out.
Also the theatre staff magnificently assisted with a medical problem. Many many thanks.
Adam, 11 Sep 2022
Great..whodoneit This is a great production of Agatha Christie's book. The theater is intimate and seating is very good. The cast and music bring the story together in a true suspenseful fashion!
Marie, 10 Sep 2022
Everyone needs to see this once in their lifetime Beautiful quaint theatre with great visibility from all seats. Warm inside so jumpers not needed or you'll be too hot. The Play is a classic and my teenagers enjoyed it. A decent break half way through.
Jayne, 31 Aug 2022
Wonderful Great acting and mysterious. We all had our guesses on who did it and one of us was correct! An enjoyable afternoon. Beautiful theatre!
Susan, 20 Jul 2022
Feels fresh despite being a long running sho Actors made the effort, and kept it entertaining.
Scott, 13 Jul 2022
A must see! Excellent from start to finish. Brilliant acting, timing and stage presence. I would recommend theatre goers to see this.
Alison, 19 Jun 2022
Glad I have finally been I have been going to see this on several occasions and now that I have actually succeeded I am pleased I did. The seats in the orchestra stalls had a very good view of the stage. The actors were very good but I can't say much about the plot as I am sworn to secrecy so as not to spoil it for others, however I did guess "who dunnit" before it was revealed, maybe I've watched too many Poirot's
Mary, 15 Jun 2022
The Mousetrap A brilliant, iconic who dunnit play by Agatha Christie, which had me guessing who the murderer was right to the end.
Jackie, 11 Jun 2022
Wonderful day out Wonderful day out with my daughter brilliant acting!
Silvia, 03 Jun 2022
A must see Better than expected!
Chris, 03 Jun 2022
So good you can see why it has ran for 70 years! Loved the show, but the Theatre was so difficult to find! I found 6 other Theatres before I found the one I wanted. As for traveling there, you must go my Tube. It so fast and easy to get to Leicester Square by tube, you would have to mad to even consider driving there.
Brian, 03 Jun 2022
A good old fashioned play Seats were great, lovely snug, comfortable theatre. Play was a nice change from the all singing all dancing musicals and had good story with funny bits throughout.
Joanna, 02 Jun 2022
CarolB Awesome great entertainment
Carol, 30 May 2022
A Must See for a Theatregoer! A wonderful show you can't see anywhere else!
Sharon, 30 May 2022
Very entertaining storyline with very good acting. As expected, the storyline was entertaining with fun clues to keep you guessing.
The acting was wonderful and made the characters very memorable.
Highly recommend seeing this play.
David, 24 May 2022
Truly entertaining A great show - timeless.
Elise, 04 May 2022
Good fun Story definitely feels from the period but it’s a good production and a fun evening.
Robert, 23 Apr 2022
It’s a classic It’s a classic so should not be modernised. But it did seem dated. Actors were good but it was difficult to hear the landlady at times.
John, 23 Mar 2022
Fun night out Fun night out. Wasn’t as flashy as the musicals but Mae for a nice change
Tracy, 19 Mar 2022
A bit disappointing The production seemed a bit tired
Jim, 11 Mar 2022
Totally Enjoyed Seen the show before elsewhere but really enjoyed seeing it again well acted by all
Tina, 24 Feb 2022
Entertaining Not a boring second
Attila, 13 Feb 2022
Second time … 23 years later! Still great after 70 years. Saw it first 23 years ago. Nice too see it again. The whole experience is like stepping back in time … even the seating…
Ivan, 08 Jan 2022
