The Pickersgill Players packed the theater (well, the Meeting Room) Saturday, March 7, with its first ever performance of Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit, “The Mousetrap.” Originally written by Christie in 1947 as a radio play for the British Queen Mary’s 80th birthday, it was adapted into a full-length stage play in 1952 and is the world’s longest-running play.

Nine Pickersgill residents from all parts of the community came together after several months of rehearsals to baffle audience members as to the identity of the killer among the stranded potential victims staying in the mysterious Monkswell Manor. The actors had the audience stumped until the identify was revealed!

We look forward to the next presentation by our very own theater troupe. (Once they return from Broadway.)
