The Motive and the Cue OR The Mousetrap
Noel Coward Theatre / St Martin's Theatre
Start time: 7.30pm
1964. Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction.
But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.
​
Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud, Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton, and Tuppence Middleton as Elizabeth Taylor.
A fierce and funny new play by Jack Thorne, offering a glimpse into the politics of a rehearsal room and the relationship between art and celebrity.
​
A remarkable piece of theatre, highly recommended.
The play has gained a host of 5-star reviews ★★★★★:

If you haven't seen it yet, now's your chance to catch this classic Agatha Christie whodunnit!
​
The Mousetrap first entered the record books in 1958 when it became the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre. The incredible show continues to attract audiences from all over the world.
​
The Mousetrap gathers a group of people together at a stately countryside guesthouse in the converted Monkswell Manor. A snow storm cuts the patrons off and they discover, to their horror, a killer is amongst them. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim?
​
The characters become increasingly suspicious as the show goes on until each and everyone of their shameful pasts is revealed up until the last, when the moment the identity of the killer and motive are finally revealed.
The best-loved murder mystery of all time by the best-selling novelist of all time. Case closed!
