| Notes | "Three Blind Mice" is a short story by Agatha Christie. It began as a half-hour radio play that was broadcast on the BBC Light Programme at 8.00pm on Friday 30 May 1947. At some point soon after transmission of the radio play, the suggestion was made to Christie that she turn it into a short story. This was published in the US in Cosmopolitan magazine in May 1948 and then in the collection Three Blind Mice and Other Stories (1950).
Christie saw the potential of expanding the half-hour radio play into a full theatre play and in 1952, The Mousetrap, the play that has the longest initial run of any play in the world, first came to the stage. |
