The iconic murder mystery, The Mousetrap, continues to enthrall audiences after several generations of performances, and it comes to the Alhambra Theatre in Dunfermline from May 27 to June 1 next year. Ticket information will be revealed soon at www.alhambradunfermline.com

Penned by Agatha Christie, the world’s best-selling novelist of all time, it premiered at Theatre Royal Nottingham in 1952 and toured the UK before opening in the West End where it continues its record-breaking engagement at the St Martin’s Theatre, 70 years on.
