West End production of The Mousetrap postpones re-opening

Producers of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap have postponed the re-opening of the West End show.

The world’s longest running play was originally planned to resume performances with a double cast at the St Martin’s Theatre on 23 October.

Producer, Adam Spiegel, said: “In view of the current uncertainty and with greater restrictions looming for London, I have had to make the difficult decision to postpone the reopening of The Mousetrap.

“When we took the decision in July that the show would reopen, it was in anticipation of a gradual easing of restrictions in general. The government’s announcement last week that the situation is deteriorating, together with increased restrictions being imposed across the country, makes it impossible to proceed with confidence.

“As the custodian of the show, I am deeply saddened to have to make this decision. But The Mousetrap will be back, and a new date to reopen will be announced as soon as there is a more certain environment and subject to government guidelines.”

Ticketholders will be contacted by their point of purchase shortly and offered a credit or refund.
