As news spreads of a murder in London, seven strangers find themselves in a remote countryside guesthouse. When a police sergeant arrives, the guests discover - to their horror - that a killer is in their midst. One by one, the suspicious characters reveal their pasts. Which one is the murderer? Who will be their next victim? And can you solve this world-famous mystery for yourself?
For more than 70 years, Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap has kept millions of people, from every corner of the globe, on the edge of their seats, and it continues to be a sell-out hit of London theatre.

No set, no props – not even a script. That’s what improv theatre is like. Relying solely on their presence of mind and on the audience's suggestions, the Hamburg Players' improv team creates entertaining short scenes on the spot (in English).
The improv group exists independently of the three full-length theatre productions (all of them in English) brought to Marschnerstraße stage by the Hamburg Players each season.
