The Frankfurt English Speaking Theatre e.V.
proudly presents
THE MOUSETRAP
the classic murder mystery by
Dame Agatha Christie
Directed by: Antonia Kitzel

Performances will be held in the Frankfurt area on two weekends at the end of November / beginning of December 2008.

The Play:

The Mousetrap has been running successfully in London since 1952; it is the longest running show ever. Not surprisingly, in her unmistakable style, Dame Agatha Christie has created a brilliant, intricate and intriguing whodunit where murder lurks around every corner.

Mollie & Giles, a young married couple are about to open their new guest house, Monkswell Manor, when we hear a newsflash about a murder committed in London. The Police Sergeant who arrives seems to fear that the murderer is among their guests. Mollie, Giles, their guests and the Sergeant are snowed in, with no way to escape. Can the murderer be found before he - or she - strikes again ...?

The Characters:

Mollie Ralston: a young woman
Giles Ralston: Mollie's husband
Christopher Wren: a neurotic, strange young man
Mrs. Boyle: an imposing older woman
Major Metcalf: a middle-aged military looking man
Miss Casewell: a confident young woman
Mr. Parvicini: a flamboyant, distinctly foreign man
Sergeant Trotter: a cheerful, commonplace man

 

Would you like to join in the fun of FEST too? We always need willing helpers for every show that we do. There's lots to do; building scenery, painting it, making or altering costumes, rehearsing the dancing, line rehearsals, preparing sound effects, planning and setting up the lighting, making the tea (very important!).

If you have talents that you would like to put to good use, and to be in an English-speaking environment while you're having fun, do get in touch with us - we´ll be happy to welcome you to the team!
