Exploring The Mousetrap's Adaptational History
The chapter delves into the unique history of adaptations of Agatha Christie's 'The Mousetrap', discussing failed attempts at filming the play and the constraints imposed to honor Christie's promise to her grandmother. It also explores the restrictions on regional productions and the possibility of a film adaptation with a prologue. The discussion extends to a 2022 movie, 'See How They Run,' inspired by the play's 100th performance, involving a murder mystery with a real-life tragic motivation.
