> Background:
> There is a play, a murder mystery by Agatha Christie, called _The Mousetrap_. The first production of this play premiered in 1952. Because the play is a mystery, the audiences were asked not to tell anybody the cunning ending, and the various rights (film, Broadway production, etc.) were not allowed to be taken up until six months after the first production finished its run.
> Nearly fifty years later, the first production still hasn't finished its run, and doesn't look to be doing so any time soon. It's the longest-running production of any play, ever.
> Audiences are still put on their honour not to give away the ending to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

I started to read this play once but only got a little way into it. Would you recommend seeing the play or reading it since one would obviously ruin the other? I would think that I would like to see it because I've read plenty of her stuff and would enjoy seeing it performed.

Also, I've read "Murder on the Orient Express." Is it worth seeing the movie, too?
