On February 3–5, Real Live Entertainment is staging a production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap at the Niverville Heritage Centre.
“The play has defined the genre,” says Alan Fehr, Creative Director of the Steinbach-based company. “It’s this wonderful whodunit featuring a bunch of odd characters maneuvering around an old English manor house, trying to separate the truth of the murders from the red herrings. And the famous twist ending is still fun and unexpected, even after all these years.”
The show will play to audiences each evening at 7:00 p.m., with an additional 1:30 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Tickets are available in advance for $20 at William Dyck and Sons in Niverville, at the Steinbach Arts Council, or online at the website below. Tickets at the door will sell for $25.
A “Table for 2” upgrade option, for those looking to celebrate Valentine’s Day early, is available for online purchase. The package includes premium seating at a candlelit table for two, with handmade chocolate and refreshments served by cast members.
Meg Pfeifer-Brandt, Kyle Barrett Friesen, Michael Dueck, Deb Rogalsky, Trevor Esau, Sherri Pierce, Jeremy Plett, and Kenton Dyck round out the cast.
The Mousetrap, which first opened 65 years ago to theatregoers in London, England, has the distinction of being the longest-running play in the world.
