Mousetrap
When Philipp comes to London we usually go to some theater. Currently Philipp is in London and today we went to see the Mousetrap, a murder mystery play by Agatha Christie. A remarkable thing about it is that it's longest world's running play that has been running continuously since 1952 and made over 24,000 performances so far. The play is also known for its twist ending, which I read about before the play, and I thought that as I'm already familiar with the fact that there is going to be a twist, I will easily spot the murderer. I just will have have to choose the one whom I suspect the least. Every 15 minutes I was changing my mind and informing Andrjes about every thought I was having by providing all the reasonings behind my choice...poor Andrejs... When in the end of the play my head was already completely spinning from trying to identify the murderer from 7 people I suspected, the murderer turned out to be the 8th, the one I completely disregarded. And that was a tricky twist! After the play actors asked not to reveal the truth of the murder to anyone, so I say no more.
