Sapulpa Community Theatre "The Mousetrap" The setting is the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor in deepest Berkshire, owing its Jacobethan decor to the Inigo Jones revival, soon to be cut off from the world by fast falling snow. The time is ‘Agatha Christie time’ as the programme puts it, corned beef is on the menu and there are no mobile phones or television.
Before the curtain rises a shot, a scream and a radio announcer reveal that a murder has been committed in Paddington. Clues carelessly discarded now point to the Manor as the killer’s next stopping place in pursuit of two more victims of vengeance. But who are they?
In the long opening scene guests arrive, shaking snow from their hats and winter coats, happily unaware that they and the jolly young proprietors will each soon fall under deepest suspicion of guilt and the threat of sudden death. Luckily a sergeant from the county constabulary has been despatched on skis to protect the guests and do his best to uncover the villain. But he proves unable to prevent further crimes being committed
