Are you ready for a good, old-fashioned whodunit? UpStage Artists is excited to announce its cast for classic mystery, The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie, opening November 1 at 7:30 pm. The cast is made up of diverse actors from all over the region, including some right here in Beltsville. The cast includes Christopher Farrar as Giles Ralston, Ayika Tshimanga as Molly Ralston, James-Curtis Bowers as Christopher Wren, KMG Bey Abdelrahimel as Mrs. Boyle, Peter Rouleau as Major Metcalf, Sofia Sandoval as Miss Casewell, Marc Rehr as Mr. Paravacini, and Zach Coates as Det. Sgt. Trotter.
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap is the world’s longest running play. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate. This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time.
