[Illustration by Anup Singh] </figcaption> </figure> <p>December 27: Something momentous happened at London&rsquo;s West End theatre a few days ago on December 16. A play by famous mystery writer Agatha Christie, <em>The Mousetrap</em>, was staged to a standing ovation yet again.</p> <p>Nothing unusual in that except for one thing. It was the 20,000th stage performance of <em>The Mousetrap</em>. And this makes the play the longest running in the world, having premiered in the year 1952. And, Agatha Christie&rsquo;s grandson, Matthew Prichard, was present on the occasion.</p>
