Brian Fenty has announced that Agatha Christie’s iconic thriller and the world’s longest running play, The Mousetrap will embark on a major UK tour, opening at The Alexandra, Birmingham in 2026.

The tour forms part of wider plans to celebrate The Mousetrap’s 75th anniversary year with more exciting celebrations to be announced.

Full casting and creative team for the tour to be announced in due course.

Since 1952, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has captivated the world with silent clues, shifting shadows and the best kept secret in theatre history. Now, the record-breaking classic embarks on its 75th Anniversary Tour across the UK and Ireland.

A shocking murder rattles London. Far from the chaos, a remote country guesthouse welcomes seven strangers seeking refuge. But when a police sergeant battles through a deadly snowstorm with a warning no one expects, it becomes clear the threat is already within their walls.

Every whisper hides a clue. Every story masks a lie. And as suspicion tightens its grip, one question chills the room: Who among them is capable of murder?

Step inside, and solve the greatest murder mystery that has kept the world guessing for generations.

The Mousetrap shows at The Alexandra, Birmingham from Thursday 3 – Saturday 12 September. Tickets will be on sale here soon.
