Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap"
The Ferndale Repertory Theatre is proud to bring to its stage, Agatha Christie's classic whodunit, The Mousetrap. By far the world's longest running play in English, this mystery has entertained audiences for 50 years on the London stage. Curiously, many of the plot elements correlate well to Humboldt County. In brief, a young couple inherit a roomy old house on land and decide to turn it into a bed-and-breakfast. They don't know their guests - and learn how little they may even know about each other - when the house is isolated by a storm and the phone lines go down. One of the guests is killed and the only possible suspects are in the house. Find out "who died, who done it and why."
