Synopsis: Following the murder of a local woman, the guests and staff of Monkswell Manor find themselves isolated during a snowstorm. Suspicion abounds as it becomes evident that the killer lurks within their midst. A police detective arrives on skis to interrogate the suspects: the newlywed proprietors of the manor; a spinster with a curious history; an architect masquerading as a chef; a retired Army major; an odd little man with a stranded car; and a jurist who makes life unbearable for all. With a second murder unfolding, tensions and fears reach a crescendo. This record-breaking murder mystery, penned by the preeminent Agatha Christie, unfurls an ingenious surprise finale.
BPCC Theatre’s production of The Mousetrap is directed by BPCC Theatre program director, Dr. Ray Scott Crawford. The cast includes Sarah Noelle Foster, Blaine Fultz, Brody Hines, Aubrey Brummett, Sam Condon, Julia Parr, Colby Garrett, Ja’Siah Jackson.
