My favorite theatre play ever!It raised my standards❤

Ridiculous how far back this was filmed, and the echo makes it practically impossible to hear. A complete WASTE.

Thank you so much for uploading this! I'll never have a chance to go watch it in its original version. Having watched parts of the other versions on YT, i was very disappointed. This version is absolutely the best on here. From the stage setup to the acting, line delivery, the pic of actors for the parts. Absolutely awesome! I'd love to see what they do with other Agatha Christie material.

I saw this in London in 1968 when I was 14. Nice to be able to see it again.

Loved this, thank you for posting

I had the opportunity to participate in one community theatre's production of THE MOUSETRAP in 1983, in which I played Christopher Wren, then moved to another community and in 2014 I got to participate again, but this time as Mr. Paravcini. I enjoyed watching this show (the stage is a bit different than I was familiar with) but each company gets the opportunity to make each production unique to their circumstances. I'm hoping to get to London to see the long-running show at some point!

thank you. im a big agatha christie fan. i just tried if someone uploaded the mousetrap. thank you for sharing.

Finally saw it tonight, after about 30 years of knowing of its existence. A very good production in a most excellent old theatre.

I love Agatha Christie's Mousetrap. It's one of my favorites. When I was in London in the '90's, I wanted to see the "longest running play," so I went to see it. They made some changes from the original. I was underwhelmed with the performances, but I can say I saw the longest running play. :)

Well done, Craig! Many thanks!

Petra/Laura's performance was excellent-wish she was in more scenes!

Those British accents are absolutely remarkable, old chap!

This might be Samuel himself reincarnated, and here is with us telling us his diary in 2024 on KZbin. Edit: Man you should make a new diary of the 2020 pandemic 😂

Not sure this play works if all the characters are camped up like this?

Wonderful thank you, I learned a lot! Are there books or any other materials you would recommend to continue learning about these topics?

What a lovely voice!!😀

Agatha Christie at her Best!!!😅

Difficult to understand with the attempted accents.

Watched the show on tour earlier today- watching this back is so fascinating seeing everything unfold, this time the clues blindingly obvious! Great production,amazing acting 👏

I originally saw the play in the UK and adored it. Now based in France, I've never seen it on stage but have watched several times the definitive French video with Vaneck, Luchini and Arditi. But I would say your version at the very least, rivals the French version and is maybe even better. That is a huge compliment to the actors and also the set design. I was disappointed that the scene at the beginning where Serge and Mark have a long sequence of exchanging glances had been cut - but that is just a minor criticism and unless you know the original, nobody would realise. Great work.

Watching after seeing this on stage for the first time yesterday. Such a fun play, you all did a great job btw

thank you for this

I watched this play last week in Indiana and I’ve gotta say, it’s rather slow-paced but keeps you on the edge of your seat.

This was a little too easy to figure out

Watched it yesterday at the theatres. Today one is way better acting

Huge agatha christie fan and had NEVER heard of this play until I watched "see how they run" last night, and unfortunately the pastiche of that film did inform me as to what this ending was going to be... and honestly whenever you hear IT HAS A FAMOUS TWIST ENDING you definitely start sniffing out what could be the most delicious twist. but still THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the upload! dont think id ever have a chance to see it otherwise

i stopped watching the minute thing became a arm...

This is a master class in directing, Craig. Too bad your audience was so unresponsive! And by the way, Commonweal is going great guns! Fantastic audiences! You have a three-month run!

There will be auditions for this play in August 2023 in Coppell, Texas. I might audition for a role, but I need a British accent. I am practicing and watching this play it really helps. Thank you for sharing this wonderful play. Greetings from Texas.

Christopher Wren is adorable!!!!

The accents are pretty good!

I just went to see this live in my country and I just loved it so much and needed to see it again

Did you know the late Derek Guyler holds the position of being the longest running actor to star in the west end in a single play. He hold the record for appearing in every version of “The Mousetrap” in the west end and can still be heard, via a recording, reading the radio news bulletin in the play to this present day.

The three chruch all use they same technique... They won't change their mind with they neighbor hood..I'm not trying to take over and I don't want too...

Thanks so much teacher. You are awesome!

Y’know what I realized, (this doesn’t take away my love of the play but still) there are no clues that point towards the murderer, which I hate because I believe that the reader should try to solve it too so why does a play with no clues have ran for nearly 70 years?

I think these actors are just right in playing their parts. I am not sure "stage sound" works on a video. Some day I would like to see this with wireless microphones. This play can be quite fast moving. It is a great opportunity for some fast camera work to follow that action. Then a back-up camera with the overview shot that you have would be a safety, if the actors jumped out of the close-up shot. Good sound and close ups would make an exciting performance. I also realize that a stage is not a video set.
