The production originally opened in 1952 starring the late Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sim. In 1958, it became the world's longest running stage production when it exceeded the run of Chu-Chin-Chow.
Now in it's 60th year, the Mousetrap has been licensed around the world to celebrate this milestone for the ultimate stage whodunnit.
