Writer: Agatha Christie Director: Ian Watt-Smith Reviewer: Maggie Constable The Public Reviews Rating: The Mousetrap is famous around the world as being the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre.

Writer: Terence Frisby Director: James Larkin Reviewer: Maggie Constable The Public Reviews Rating: At Milton Keynes Theatre this week there were courtroom thrills aplenty in Terence Frisby’s Rough Justice, not Agatha Christie style but certainly full of drama and suspense, and some twists.
