“The Mousetrap 60th Anniversary Tour – Agatha Christie” – Original 2013 UK Theatre Promotional Advert

Description:
This is an original 2013 vintage promotional advert celebrating the Diamond Anniversary Tour of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap – the world’s longest-running stage play. Issued to mark the play’s 60th anniversary, this promotional piece advertises the first ever UK tour of the iconic murder mystery, staged at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne from Monday 9 to Saturday 14 September.

With over 25,000 performances since its premiere in 1952, The Mousetrap is a monumental part of British theatre history. The ad features bold blue and silver artwork with sparkling “60” anniversary graphics and a tagline from The Telegraph describing it as:
“The cleverest murder mystery of British theatre.”

The synopsis hints at the chilling story: a group of strangers trapped in a country manor during a snowstorm, slowly uncovering secrets—and a murderer in their midst. Agatha Christie’s storytelling is praised here for crafting an atmosphere where “murder lurks around every corner.”

This original theatre print has been mounted on black cardboard, measuring approximately 14 x 21 cm (5.5 x 8.3 inches), and is ideal for collectors of Agatha Christie memorabilia, British theatre advertising, or vintage murder mystery promotions.

Condition Note:
This is a genuine promotional print from 2013. As with all authentic vintage material, it may show slight signs of age including minor edge wear or soft cornering—adding to its vintage charm and collectible value.
