On the way you will explore how Agatha Christie was inspired by the events and people around her, such as her work in a hospital dispensary and her marriage to Max Mallowen, as well as the works of writers who she admired, such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. We will also learn how Agatha Christie worked with and inspired other crime fiction writers, through her involvement with the famous Detection Club. Of course, no Agatha Christie London Tour would be complete without a stop outside “The Mousetrap”, the longest-running play in the world, where you will learn that this iconic murder mystery has a surprisingly royal origin. You will also discover just which famous faces from the British acting elite, have tread the boards of the St Martin’s theatre during their careers, and how her creations have inspired countless stage, screen, and TV incarnations; some of whom were faithful to the stories that Agatha Christie wrote whilst others deviated from her original cannon.
