Purdue Theater opens its new season with “The Mousetrap,” written by Agatha Christie and directed by Richard Stockton Rand. The play is the longest-running play in London history, and tells the story of a group of strangers stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm - one of them is a murderer! WBAA's John Clare spoke to Rand about the production.

The play is presented September 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30 at 7:30 and September 24, 30 and October 1 at 2:30 in the Nancy T. Hansen Theatre in Pao Hall. It is rated PG-13 and is recommended for ages 14 and up. Find out more here.
