The Mousetrap Reviewed by Younger Son
The Mousetrap
On November 17, 2006 I saw The Mousetrap at Chicago Christian High School
Genre: Murder Mystery
Setting: England, late 1940’s
Act 1: Monkswell Manor Guest House
Scene 1:Late Afternoon
Scene 2: The Next Morning
Act 2: Later The Same Day
This is a story about a Mr. and Mrs. Ralston who have been married for one year who have just started their very own guest house. In the first act first scene is when all the guest come to the house. There were five guests: Christopher Wren, Mrs. Boyle, Major Metcalf, Miss Casewell, and Ms. Paravincini.
The second scene is when the trouble starts. Now all the guest are all comfortable (or as well as they can be) and everyone is starting to get to know each other a little bit. Everyone now knows that there was a murder very close to the guesthouse the day before and everyone is starting to get a little nervous. Soon after the phone starts ringing and it was the police and said they would be sending a detective to question them and very soon after that Detective Trotter comes to the guesthouse on his skies because the snow was really bad. Now everyone was really nervous. Trotter found the telephone wire was cut and went outside too see where it went to and he told Mr. Ralston to go upstairs and help him. Then Mrs. Ralston went and started to cook her meal. Then Mrs. Boyle came into the room she was listening to the radio quite loudly and then you could see only a hand move toward the light switch and when Mrs. Ralston came and turned back on the light she saw Mrs. Boyle dead and she screamed.
Now that there has been a murder right in the living room everyone was wondering the same question who was going to be next. In trotter’s eyes he thought it could be anybody. He started asking more and more questions to everyone were they were when the murder happened, everyone was just doing there own thing. The plot ended when we found the real identities of everyone, but the murderer was no one anyone would have expected.
**** I give this play 4 out of 5 stars
I liked this play a lot because my family does a murder mystery each year and they are a lot of fun. My favorite character was Christopher. I would like the part of either Christopher or Trotter. I recommend this play for anybody over the age of 12.
