A group of quirky strangers – one of whom is a murderer – is stranded in a boarding house during a snowstorm. One of the guests is murdered, and to discover the murderer, a wandering policeman probes the background of everyone present and rattles a lot of skeletons. This is a superb intrigue from the foremost mystery writer of her time. 

This performance of “The Mousetrap,” written by Agatha Christie, is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. James Bagnall will direct the production. This is the first time James Bagnall, adjunct faculty member, will direct for Center Stage.
