Actor Ruy de Carvalho will return to the stage on 22 April at the Coliseu do Porto in the play 'The Mousetrap', directed by Paulo Sousa Costa. The performance marks his return to the public eye following a period of medical recovery that forced the suspension of previous shows in late 2025. Director Paulo Sousa Costa noted that the return was driven by the actor's own insistence and desire to perform. The play, a classic thriller by Agatha Christie, was chosen to allow for a gradual return to theatrical activity due to the nature of the role. Ruy de Carvalho, who turned 99 this March, remains a legendary figure in Portuguese culture with a career spanning over eight decades.
