Discussion Groups / English Usage / May 2009The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie
Hi I just got into Christie's short stories, and I have all of them in audio expect The Mousetrap. I am assuming it's b/c she requested that it should remain as stage drama. Perhaps this is why I can't seem to find it on the internet at all. At the point I am even willing to buy cd-audio or even video of a recorded stage drama. Does anyone know where I can get this forbidden mp3/audio or video? PS: Please don't spoil because I have not read/watch this one. Try looking for "Three Blind Mice". There is a 1986 cassette edition that I know of. > Try looking for "Three Blind Mice". There is a 1986 cassette edition > that I know of.

Christie bound the story and plya up in a lot of tight ropes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousetrap, which may explain why the play isn't available in an audio recording. Note that the play can't be available excpet on stage until after the play closes in London's West End, which it hasn't yet after 57 years. Someone else has mentioned "Three Blind Mice", which apparently is not quite the same thing. I performed in a local production of the play in Kansas in 1982; it's hard to believe it's still in first run in London.

What's with these English writers? Orwell didn't want anyone writing his biography -- so we only have his letters. She disappeaed so her 1st husband would be accused of killing her -- when she was caught she pretended that she lost her memory. That explain why her second husband was sleeping with all those arabs girls in near-east. I've never been to theater, but right now I am tempted to check out this stupid story :( Anyone where which theater in Toronto will be playing? >> On Sun, 17 May 2009 00:52:49 -0700 (PDT), Jesse Dorland >> [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >this stupid story :( Anyone where which theater in Toronto will be >playing? From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mousetrap "A staging at the Toronto Truck Theatre in Toronto, Ontario, that opened on 19 August 1977 became Canada's longest running show, before finally closing on 18 January 2004 after a run of twenty-six years and over 9,000 performances." I shouldn't think it will be performed again for a while.

Aren't some of the theatres in London quite small? If so, I still odn't know about this one. SignaturePosters should say where they live, and for which area they are asking questions. I have lived in Western Pa. 10 years Indianapolis 10 years Chicago 6 years Brooklyn, NY 12 years Baltimore 26 years >>I performed in a local production of the play in Kansas in 1982; >>it's hard to believe it's still in first run in London. > >Aren't some of the theatres in London quite small?
