Interesting Facts:

Agatha Christies’s books have sold billions of copies around the world – more than any other author, after The Bible.

The Mousetrap is the longest-running play in the history of London’s West End. In 2019 the production headed into its 68th year at the St. Martin’s Theatre. Since 6 October 1952 the play has reached well over 27,000 performances.

Patrons attending the S. Martin’s production are asked to tip their cab driver on arrival – a bad tip usually means that the cabby will shout the murderers name and speed off.
