In 1952, Agatha Christie's sprawling and intricate new whodunnit, The Mousetrap (based on her radio play, Three Blind Mice), opened in the West End on a very strict condition; no one was to ever give away the plot of the show. To this day, seventy years later, audiences have abided by the rule, ensuring that whether it is your first or 30th time seeing it, the experience and the discovery of "whodunnit" will come as a surprise!

Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter, The Banshees of Inisherin) makes his long-awaited West End debut in Conor McPherson's masterpiece this autumn following a launch at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. Premiering in 1997 at The Royal Court, The Weir won the coveted trinity of theatre awards: the Evening Standard, Critics' Circle, and Olivier Awards for Best New Play, cementing McPherson's status as a playwright.

Launching a major five-year Shakespeare series for Chris Harper Productions, Tom Morris (War Horse, Touching the Void) directs trailblazer David Harewood (Homeland, Supergirl) - the first Black actor to play Othello at the National Theatre in 1997 - in a searing, contemporary take on the Bard's tale of jealousy and betrayal, featuring music by Grammy nominated PJ Harvey.
