The Mousetrap

[wotsit]

Has anyone out there seen "The Mousetrap".  Is it really that good, was it worth seeing.  It must have something going for it, I believe this is it's 57th year.

Is there anything else I should see at the Theatre. Not into musicals. Thanks.

I saw it a couple of years ago. It's typical Agatha Christie, so if you like that sort of stuff you should go. I enjoyed it. I thought it would be a bit darker than it was, but it's almost a comedy in places. Don't go if you're looking for a brilliant piece of contemporary theatre, it's just a good night out with a good old fashioned whodunnit.

Hallo wotsit, I can appreciate your not being into musicals, but consider Willy Russell's Blood Brothers. I'm not really into all this Andrew Lloyd Webber nonsense either, but I saw this many years ago in the English Theatre in Frankfurt - quite simply one of the most memorable theatre experiences I have ever had.

[wotsit]

Xollob, thanks for that. The missus has been on at me for ages to go and see The Blood Brothers. I'll add it to my list.

Woman in Black - a really good scary old fashioned ghost story. Brilliant night out.

Agreed - The Woman in Black - genuinely scary. And try the newly opened "Theatre of Blood" at the National Theatre with Jim Broadbent. Most tickets are �10. It's a Vincent Price horror movie live on stage!

A friend and I went to see the Mousetrap about 20 years ago, and the funny thing is that we now disagree on 'whodunnit'! One of us obviously hasn't got as good a memory as we think!

I saw mousetrap a few years ago It was good but not worth the hype you see just as good in provincial theatres. Agree blood brothers is very good also Les Mis I know its a musical but it is infectious once you've seen it you have to keep going back.
