Hiirenloukku
A chillingly suspenseful classic whodunitNote: No longer in repertoire!
The audience favourite returns to the programme – now on the Main Stage!
The queen of crime Agatha Christie’s Hiirenloukku transports audiences to the nostalgic England of the 1950s. Premiered in London in 1952, it is the world’s longest continuously running play, an undisputed classic and an extraordinarily popular theatrical phenomenon. Now this chilling thriller comes to Helsinki City Theatre.
Mollie and Giles are a happy young couple. A very special day lies ahead: they are about to open the Monkswell guest house in an old inherited manor, surrounded by the peace and quiet of the countryside. Just as everything is ready for their guests, a snowstorm strikes and throws their plans into disarray. At the same time, a police bulletin on the radio reports a murder in London and a search for the killer.
When the guests finally make it through the storm and into the warmth of the manor, the cosy guest house comes to life. Mollie and Giles find themselves catering to a demanding group of visitors, not all of whom seem to get along. Just before the manor is cut off by the snow and the roads become impassable, a police officer arrives to warn them about a murderer who has left a message: the next victim will be found at the Monkswell guest house.
How can the murderer reach the manor in the middle of a snowstorm? Or are they already there?
