Agatha Christie’s iconic play, The Mousetrap will tour Australia for the first time ever in 2012.

This all-Australian production is one of 60 professional productions that have been licensed worldwide in celebration of The Mousetrap’s (60th) Diamond Anniversary, which will include productions in every continent.

Christie’s classic ‘whodunit” opened on London’s West End in November 1952 and has since played over 24,000 performances. The Mousetrap is the longest running show of any kind in the world and continues to delight audiences to this day at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre.

The Mousetrap is sure to be a highlight on the national arts calendar for 2012 and celebrate the play’s Diamond (60th) Anniversary with a superb all-Australian production.
