The Mousetrap at Liverpool Empire was a 'clever classic' that 'kept the audience guessing'

Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap' is renowned for being such a classic, and fans of the whodunnit can catch it at the Liverpool Empire this week.

Known for being the world's longest running play at 70 years old, The Mousetrap originally opened in London's West End in 1952 and ran continuously until 16 March 2020. After a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show is back, and running from Monday November 7 until Saturday November 12.

The play focuses on a group of seven strangers that find themselves snowed in a remote countryside guesthouse. After the news spreads of a murder in London, a police sergeant arrives to inform them that there's a killer in their midst.
