AGATHA Christie classic The Mousetrap will be performed at Bournemouth Pavilion from August 3 to 8.

The play is famous around the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre.

With more than 25,000 performances it’s a masterpiece to be proud of.

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be?

One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed.

In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

The Telegraph describes it as 'the cleverest murder mystery of British Theatre', while the Sunday Times says it is 'a truly entertaining classic thriller'.
