I wanted to go to this,

but even if I had booked and tried to go It wouldn't have happened. We ended up taking our daughter to emergency dentist instead.
This is why I don't make plans to go anywhere anymore.
I do wish I had been able to meet the lovely Dan Haggerty (grizzley adams) though. I wanted to marry him when I was a little girl.  sp0

I will do my best to get our tickets for Thursday November 30th at 2.30pm

I have been looking at a theatre trip for carers in the North West. Let me know if you are interested.

The Mousetrap is on at the Grand Theatre in  Blackpool in November

This is almost booked up so we need to book fairly soon

Showing Monday 25 November 2013
to Saturday 30 November 2013

The Mousetrap is famous all over  the world for being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre- with over 25,000 performances it's a play to be proud of.

The scene is set when a group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed.

In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

To celebrate 60 incredible years on stage, it's going on tour for the first time, with a star cast to give you a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this masterpiece here at the Grand Theatre

This is on at Burnley Mechanics

Names so far.....

A classic whodunit from the pen of that legendary crime writer Agatha Christie.  This murder mystery is the longest running play in the UK and, in fact the world but has yet to appear as a film.  Christie herself stipulated that this thriller must not be made into a film and that still holds true today.

This stage production is a totally absorbing affair and in the very best Christie tradition, has a sting in the tail!  It is superbly acted and under the expert direction of David Turner is considered a masterpiece in its own right.

Why is it called ‘The Mousetrap’?  This is aptly named as the plot is centred upon a group of people who have been ’ensnared’ as a result of heavy snow.  A policeman arrives at the hotel and warns the guests that a killer is on the loose.  Later on, one of the hotel guests is murdered and everyone suddenly realises that the murderer is likely to be one of them!

From then on, the plot twists and turns as each of the guests tries to guess who the murderer is.  Only at the end do we find out who the real killer is.  What sets this play apart is that the audience are asked at the end of each production not to reveal the identity of the murderer to anyone outside of the theatre.

The play starts with a converted hotel, formerly known as Monkswell Manor, which is in a rural location.  This is a relatively new hotel run by a young couple – Giles and Mollie Ralston.  Due to a heavy snowfall, they and the guests are trapped in the hotel until it clears.  They are joined by a passer-by who has been forced to take shelter in the hotel as his car is stuck in the snow.

They learn from the police that a dangerous killer is on the loose and so they must take care.  Later on, one of the guests is found murdered which brings it home to everyone that the killer could be inside the hotel, in fact, he/she could be one of them!

You will be taken on a tense, gripping and nail biting journey of trying to discover which one of the guests is the murderer.  Each one of the guests starts to form their own opinion as to who it is which is also very revealing!

In the very best tradition of this play the killer’s identity can only be revealed to those present at the theatre on the night of the production. So if you want to know the secrets of The Mousetrap, then you will have to pick up tickets and see the show for yourself!
