It's a mystery....

 This evening my spouse and I went to Arena Dinner Theater and saw "The Mousetrap" by Agatha Christie.  

Did you know that the play was first written as a short radio play for Queen Mary's 80th birthday, it was then rewritten as a short story and then as the play we know now. 

The play has been performed in London's West End since 1952 (with a short pandemic pause).  It is the longest running stage production, with over 30,000 performances in 73 years.

With all of that history, this evening was actually the first time I had seen the play.  There are eight characters in the play, any one of which seemed capable of murder to me, but in the time honored tradition of this play, at the end of the performance, we were all asked to promise not to tell who the killer was.  

So if you want to know 'Who dun it?' you will have to see the show. It's on through November 1.
