Playwriting Project: Day 5: The Mousetrap

Please use your time in the lab this morning to continue writing your script(s).

At 9:00, please move next door to begin reading The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie.

Please read this article from the Guardian about the play. The Mousetrap opened in 1952 in the West End of London (its theater district) and is still running. It began as a radio play based on a short story: "Three Blind Mice."

Information about the author is here.

HOMEWORK: Complete The Mousetrap by Monday, Oct. 20. Expect a quiz.
