The Hannibal-LaGrange University Theatre Department will be presenting three performances of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap November 19 and 21 at 7 pm and November 22 at 2 pm in the Parker Theatre of the Roland Fine Arts Center.
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap depicts a group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm. One of them is a murderer. Is it the newly married couple who run the house? The spinster with a curious past, the strange man who claims to have overturned his car in a drift, the retired Army major, the young man who seems to be running away from something, or the unpleasant woman who is never pleased? Into their midst comes a detective who digs into everyone’s backgrounds, rattling a lot of skeletons. With a second murder, and a third looming, who can be trusted? The Mousetrap is the world’s longest running play by the foremost mystery writer of her time.
