Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap is known to be one of the longest-running theatre productions ever made. The show has seen over 466 actors since it opened in The Ambassadors Theatre, London, in 1952, with Richard Attenborough and his wife Sheila Sim play the lead. After 21 years, in 1973, The Mousetrap moved to London's St Martin's Theatre. There have been over 2.75 lakh performances till date and it is said that there is hardly a night when the show does not play at some part of the world.

To put things in perspective, The Mousetrap has been performing since the time Queen Elizabeth II came to power. The production recently completed six decades and is making a pit-stop in Mumbai's Jamshed Bhabha Theatre this week.
