THE MOUSETRAP by Agatha Christie | Court Theatre

SOLD-OUT!

★★★★ “This is a killer production.” -Sun-Times

“…if you were a fan of the movie ‘Knives Out’ and see tweedy old Christie as in need of some shaking up for a new moment, you’ll likely have similar fun here” -Chicago Tribune

The Ralstons’ house becomes lethal when four guests are snowed in amidst reports of a woman’s murder. Agatha Christie’s craft for building skillful twists and shocking turns is on full display in this famed mystery which reinforces the genre as a pillar of classic drama. The Mousetrap is revived in an exuberant staging by Sean Graney that eschews cliché and begs for a repeat viewing as the traps characters lay are sprung in surprising ways.

Approximate running time: 2 hrs. 10 minutes including 1 intermission.
