But why the attraction for this particular Agatha Christie tale, of a murder which takes place in a stately countryside guesthouse? Why does seeing this play in particular make it onto so many lists of Things to Do Before I Die? Agatha Christie’s plot and character development is intricate and demanding of more brain cell gymnastics than a Herald crossword. As a result, those who wish to know whodunnit have to turn up at the theatre. “Actually, I think because it is so well established it takes the pressure off.”The Mousetrap, The King’s Theatre, Glasgow, May 1-6
