Three Blind Mice (radio play and short story)

Three Blind Mice is the name of a half-hour radio play written by Agatha Christie, which was later adapted into a television film, a short story, and a popular stage production.

Christie agreed, asking that her fee of one hundred guineas be donated to the Southport Infirmary Children's Toy Fund.

As another play had run on the stage just prior to the Second World War also with the title Three Blind Mice, Christie had to change the name.

Allan McClelland, in the role of Christopher Wren, was the only actor to make the transition from the radio production to the stage play.

The story, under its Portuguese language title of Três Ratinhos Cegos, was adapted for Brazilian television and broadcast on 21 January 1956.

The billing from the Radio Times issue of 25–31 May 1947, illustrating the night's programmes on radio for Queen Mary including the performance of Three Blind Mice
