Beatrix Hesse. The English Crime Play in the Twentieth Century. Crime Files: Review

In a 2014 episode of Toast of London, a highly successful Channel 4 sitcom, protagonist Steven Toast, a dim-witted London-based actor, joins the cast of legendary stage-play The Moose Trap, which is, of course, modelled on Agatha Christie’s successful West End whodunit, The Mousetrap. When Toast accidentally spoils the play’s ending during an interview, the play soon finds itself without an audience, which leads to some of the geriatric cast members literally dying on stage.
