The Mousetrap--The Last Little Mouse in the Trap--The Final 10 Minutes

Sergeant Trotter has determined a method to catch the murderer in his or her own trap. He instructs everyone at Monkswell Manor to return to the positions they occupied at the time of the murder. In order for the plan to succeed, however, each person must take the role of one of the others. After giving each person the new set of instructions to carry out, Trotter sends them off on their way. Will Trotter capture the person responsible for the murders in London and Monkswell Manor? Or will the final, unrevealed secret of the cunning, ruthless killer lead to one final death on this cold, snowy night?

The Mollie is really over acted in this scene.

@abbynormal11 Hahaha, well, I suppose our opinions differ, then. ;)

I know that Trotter is supposed to turn his back to the audience, but I did this play at my school and my character (Mollie) never turned her back to the audience, if its not in the script, wouldn't that be considered a cardinal sin of theater? I love this play though :)

@Purplemusicalcookie Lol, when we did our blocking for this show, we didn't really follow what was written in the script. Our director had her own ideas about how the show should look, and at any rate we weren't working on a stage big enough to make it all work right, anyway. So, yeah, when you see Mollie turn her back, that's just our director's unique vision at work. (You may be interested to know that Mollie is actually backing up against the metaphorical "fourth wall" here).

You know you are likely to get yourself in trouble for some form of copyright infringement for posting this? The owners of the play are very protective about stopping the ending being revealed. At very least you may end up getting the theatre stopped from ever being able to show it again.

The end is supposed to be kept secret. Besides.. you being a spoiler!!

[ThatGuyOnTheStage]

@WildIndieMovies Well, see, I don't necessarily want to spoil the end for anyone, but I figure it's fairly obvious that if you click on a video stating it's the final ten minutes of an Agatha Christie play, there are going to be some major spoilers involved. I do know what you're saying, and I apologize if you're offended. Actually, the reason I put this up was so that some people that missed the performances could see some of our scenes (we wanted to make a DVD but it didn't work out :/).

The grandson of Agatha Christie (who owns this play), is suing someone who spoiled the ending on Wikipedia... You want to be next?
