My overall impression

Kill a Better Mousetrap is much more entertaining than the original “Mousetrap”. Witty dialogue and a fast pace keeps the audience in stitches. The author moves the story in unexpected directions and the outcome was not predictable. Loved all the references to the great Agatha’s other plays (which the lead character – played by Scott Ratner – admires very much). It’s only “Mousetrap” that he takes umbrage with here – vacillating between despair and manic glee. The 2 supporting characters are excellent and I won’t give their characters away by saying too much. Fun for young & old alike; our audience ranged from 10 to 70 and sometimes you did miss a line or two due to laughter from the audience.
