Agatha Christie’s legendary whodunit The Mousetrap (Az egérfogó) hits Budapest in 2025. Veres 1 Theatre (Veres 1 Színház) brings this mind-bending, two-and-a-half-hour stage puzzle to the Óbuda district on November 5, ready to challenge Hungarian theatergoers once again. Packed with clever twists and intellectual games, the show leaves you convinced you’ve outsmarted the mystery—until you realize you haven’t at all.
The West End Legend
Christie famously thought the play would flop within half a year, even passing the stage rights to her grandson. Sixty-three years later, The Mousetrap is still a nonstop sensation in London. When it first premiered, Winston Churchill was Prime Minister, and Britons needed ration tickets for meat, bacon, sugar, and butter. With over 26,000 performances, 414 actors, 136 miles of ironed shirts, and a whopping 462 tons of ice cream, the show has become true stage lore. Prepare for a classic crime experience that refuses to age.
