James PritchardGUEST
The thing that really blew me away is the film clip of her at the 10th anniversary.
James PritchardGUEST
And, you know, now here we are and it's about to enter its 75th year.
LeeHOST
What's in your tenure, what are some of the shows that really stood out to you? Which? Which shows really stood out to you, which were you proud to be part of Theory
Jill BartlettGUEST
4? When we did The Mousetrap in 2012, I think it was.
Jill BartlettGUEST
You were in that one? Yes.
Jill BartlettGUEST
Yeah.
Jill BartlettGUEST
We'd applied for the rights to do another Agatha Christie and it was really weird because over the years various people on our committee had said, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do the mousetrap and we just assumed the rights would never become available.
Jill BartlettGUEST
So we applied.
Jill BartlettGUEST
I can't remember what Agatha Christie we'd applied for, but the rights holders emailed us back and said, you know, I'm sorry, the rights for that isn't available.
Jill BartlettGUEST
Would you be interested in it? rights for the mousetrap would we be interested oh my goodness we were interested there was a problem in that we couldn't put it on until the 1st of September and normally we put our third production on in August so we had to beg the rep Yes.

The Mousetrap is in first place with 30,642 performances since 1952 for an Agatha Christie murder mystery.
Nikki DruceHOST
I have seen that one.
Nikki DruceHOST
You can get pretty cheap tickets if you buy them on the day.
Tom RobsonGUEST

Tom RobsonGUEST
I just think it's a different challenge because there's certainly a type of acting that was required for, say, Mousetrap that is very different than the style of acting that's required for Evil Dead.
Tom RobsonGUEST
Right.
Tom RobsonGUEST
I think there are, I think ahead to later in the season and what the performers in Misery are going to have to do.
Brendan FoleyHOST
And before the Anna Radcliffe movie, there's a play that's one of the longest running plays in the history of English theater.
Brendan FoleyHOST
That's second only to the Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, which is just absurd.
Brendan FoleyHOST
These plays run for decades, I guess, over there.
Brendan FoleyHOST
And yes, there's a BBC adaptation because, maybe it wasn't BBC, but basically there's a tradition going back to the 70s of British, maybe even before that, British TV airing ghost stories on Christmas because that's just the whole legacy of British ghost stories that are the details of ghost stories and that whole chestnut.
Claire NicholsHOST
Agatha Christie was the author of an incredible 66 novels, 14 short story collections.

DrewHOST
It's a long, narrow boat on a river.
DrewHOST
Now, this lady, Marisa, her father was an actor, Alan McClelland, and he was in the original cast of The Mousetrap.
DrewHOST
Oh, what a show.
DrewHOST
Exactly.
DrewHOST
Not that part, because I'm far too old now, as Sam will tell you.
DrewHOST
But I played it on tour in Europe.
DrewHOST
And there was a nice little segue there, because I met Alan McLellan, who was in the original cast of The Mousetrap, the longest running show in the world.
DrewHOST
Well, we're not the longest running podcast by far.
