message from THe Managing Director
RANDAL HUBER
Welcome to the world’s preeminent whodunit – Agatha Christie’s
The Mousetrap and I can’t think of a better way to follow up
the runaway success of Ring of Fire. Now in its 63rd year
in London’s West End, The Mousetrap is the world’s longest
consecutively running play for very good reason… as you’re
about to discover. One warning is that this run in Chemainus
won’t be nearly as long so please tell your friends to book in
soon because the show must close May 30 as we prepare for
the British invasion.

”
“Noah’s Ark was built by volunteers; the Titanic was built by
professionals.”
Volunteer appreciation week is in April and that’s one of my
favorite quotes about the value of volunteers. Volunteers have
truly kept the good ship Chemainus Theatre afloat through our
first 23 years. There’s no doubt in my mind that we wouldn’t be
here today if it wasn’t for the selfless contribution of volunteers.
This past year alone 154 people volunteered a total of 6,127
hours. Checking coats, showing us to our seats, building
costumes, pulling weeds, helping in the office, serving on the
board of directors… no task is too great or too small.
Volunteerism is one of the things that makes Canada the greatest
place to live on Earth. Each year 12.7 million Canadians give 2
billion hours of time. Next chance you have be it here or
elsewhere, say thank you to the volunteers who are giving
their time to make your life better.
It’s time to sit back, relax, and enter fully into the world of the
play. Thank you for joining us today and by doing so, supporting
live professional theatre on Vancouver Island.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES
MARK DUMEZ
“
I’ve been thinking about murder mysteries, these curious
things that many of us find intriguing and, at times, a kind of
obsession. Who did it? How? Why? The questions reveal
in us a want to explore the unknown and the safe thrill of
exploring an abominable act from a distance. If you trace the
origin of the word mystery, you will find it linked to mystical
secrets and truth. In the same way, the word murder weaves a
trail through Norse and Old English and can be associated with
MARK DUMEZ
mortal sins. This little game that we play with Agatha Christie
and many other great writers of this genre is a way to explore
our own mortality and sense of trust. It’s also great fun!
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
Who
did it?
How?
Why?
Everyone has a secret. We can never reveal all of ourselves in
any given moment and, despite strategic plans and long-term
goals, we rarely see ahead with 100% accuracy. It’s why
hindsight is always 20/20. We might run from, or embrace,
mystery. In this play it may be buried under layers of deceit,
hidden in cracked dialects and details or out in the open for
anyone to discover. In the large house with strange company,
no one can be trusted – but everyone must be relied on to
reveal the killer. I hope you enjoy the game – first performed in
1952 and still going strong. Welcome to The Mousetrap.

most would not expect a 60-year-old
detective story to become the world’s

unexpected longevity proves that rich

christie is best known for relating the
mysteries of the human condition. Her
books have sold over 2 billion copies in
44 languages, and she has been cited in
the guinness Book of World records as
“Bestselling author”. The Mousetrap is
an excellent reflection of her meticulous
talent for storytelling. The short story was
written for the royal family, and is based
on a 30-minute radio piece called Three
Blind Mice (that itself is based on tragic
real-life events). To date, the original
manuscript remains unpublished in the
United Kingdom (although it has been

released in the United states), and at the
author’s request it will remain a secret as
long as the play runs in the West end of
London.
springing from the page to the theatre,
The Mousetrap works wonderfully as a
live production – more so than originally
expected (even christie predicted no more
than an eight-month run following its 1952
debut). Today, it is clear that the curious
drawing-room comedy has staying power.
The key to its success is in the clever
layering of double-barrelled drama,
historic setting, and straight delivery.

provides more suspicion than comic relief.
coming together as secret backstories are
revealed, twisting into ageless themes and
a classic murder mystery.
The longevity of The Mousetrap can also
be credited to its performance history.
since its debut, more than 400 actors have
appeared in the play, including late British
actor, director, and producer richard
attenborough (as the original Detective
sergeant Trotter), and his wife, sheila
sim (as the first mollie ralston, owner of

six decades later, multiple generations of
families have seen a performance – as
if passing along a legacy of their own.
The theatrical significance of the play is
further established in the UK as part of
the London experience, as well as by its
many parodies, and a children’s theatrical
education charity that it has inspired.
We haven’t seen a murder-mystery on
our stage since 2008 and we’re excited
to look at the mystery of our mortality
through christie’s eyes. We’re glad we
get a chance to produce this professional
show with a fantastic cast in chemainus.
The quick drama, wit and surprise draw
audiences into and through its doublebarrelled mystery to identify the murderer,
and detect the next victim before it’s too
late.

We hope you enjoy tonight’s mystery, and
ask that you preserve the experience for
future audience members by protecting

it’s the “mop-top”-bopping 1960’s, and the
British are coming! four “fab” musicians
(called the Beatles) have crossed the
pond to chemainus/north america to face
their adoring public and start a “far out”
revolution. Things are changing in modern
music, and suddenly everyone can be a
“hep cat”.
Twist & Shout is an imaginative story
about a real pop-culture phenomenon;
conceived by the “choice” canadian
actor, writer, and director alex mustakas.
from beginning to end, the musical revue
is “a total gas” – packed with “neat”
nostalgia, celebrity impersonations, and
64 song and dance hits, including: The
”
Beatles, gerry & The Pacemakers, The
Hollies, The Kinks, The rolling stones,
The searchers, Dave clark five, Herman’s
Hermits, and more memorable artists!
Those who remember the booming 60’s
scene – and everyone who likes to have
a “groovy” good time – will have a blast
reliving the decades most “outta-sight”
fun at The chemainus Theatre festival!
“chicks” and “Daddy-o’s” of all ages are
invited to Twist & Shout with us!
