The Quiz: What English novelist wrote the world’s longest-running play?
Mary Wollstonecraft
Agatha Christie
Terry Pratchett
Virginia Woolf
Most people know Agatha Christie for her popular mystery novels, such as “Murder on the Orient Express” and “Death on the Nile.” However, they’re far from her only claims to fame. Among other things, Christie also wrote the world’s longest-running play, “The Mousetrap,” which began as a radio play called “Three Blind Mice” in 1947 and moved to London’s West End in 1952. There, the murder mystery ran continuously until March 2020, when performances were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It reopened in 2021.
The correct answer to this quiz is Agatha Christie.
