04 Nov Neil Reidman Joins the Cast of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap
Agatha Christie’s legendary whodunnit, The Mousetrap, continues its record-breaking run in London’s West End — and Neil is delighted to be part of the iconic production at St Martin’s Theatre. Neil plays the Character of Major Metcalf and has done 234 performances to over 110,000 people from all over the world.
The world’s longest-running play, The Mousetrap first opened in 1952 and has captivated audiences for more than 70 years with its ingenious plot, unforgettable characters and perfectly crafted suspense. What began as a short radio play for the BBC has become a true theatrical institution — with countless fans around the globe.
Set in a snowbound country guesthouse, The Mousetrap begins with news of a shocking murder in London. As seven strangers find themselves stranded together, a police sergeant arrives to investigate — and soon realises that the killer is among them. As secrets unravel and motives surface, the guests must confront the question that’s kept audiences guessing for decades: whodunnit?
Still running at its West End home, St Martin’s Theatre, The Mousetrap remains “an exquisite gem of theatre” (The Stage) and “even more thrilling than the plot is the atmosphere of shuddering suspense” (Daily Express).
The production continues to charm audiences of every generation — a living piece of theatre history that shows no sign of slowing down.
Neil joins a distinguished line of actors to have appeared in the show since its debut — a true milestone in any performer’s career.
