“The only people who really know what other people are like are artists—and they don’t know why they know it!”
A timeless tale of “whodunnit,” Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap strands seven strangers at Monkswell Manor during a blizzard. But a police sergeant unexpectedly arrives, worried that a murderer-at-large is among the guests of the Manor. Before he can investigate, one of the guests is killed, starting an investigation into the lives and histories of everyone there. One of them is the killer, and another one of them may be next. Will the police be able to solve the case before another “mouse” falls? The world’s longest continuously running play for over 60 years, The Mousetrap continues to delight and intrigue mystery lovers of all ages.

Character Breakdown:
Olive Madison: divorced, professional, vibrant, quick-witted, big-hearted, but also relentlessly sloppy and careless when it comes to the routine concerns of her personal life.
Florence Unger: a homemaker/housewife and very recently separated from her husband, was a bookkeeper before she married - extremely "pulled together" (obsessively so).
Mickey: a New York City policewoman, an organizer and problem solver.
Vera: literal-minded but a bit slow to get a point - always seems "a few beats behind the conductor”.
Sylvie: highly energy and wise cracking - desperately trying to stop smoking - she can get irritated with her friends, but has a good sense of humor, especially about her husband.
Renee: a wisecracker and a bit of a complainer - Sylvie’s best friend - can be very plain-spoken.
Manolo: very well-groomed, and Spanish with a Castilian accent; he is every woman's dream date.
Jesus: Manolo’s younger brother; also very well-groomed, excellent posture, very romantic.
