A razor‑sharp adaptation of one of the most iconic crime novels ever written, starring Mischa Barton
Set in 1930s Los Angeles, Double Indemnity follows Walter Huff, a brilliant insurance salesman whose uncanny instinct for fraud has made him dangerously successful.
When he meets the seductive and manipulative Phyllis Nirdlinger during a routine insurance visit, professionalism gives way to obsession — and a deadly plan is born.
Together, Walter and Phyllis plot the perfect crime: murder her husband, trigger the double indemnity clause, and disappear with the money.
But as suspicion closes in and guilt begins to seep through the cracks, their seemingly flawless scheme starts to unravel. In a world where desire warps judgement, will they outsmart the law — or destroy each other first?
A landmark story and a Hollywood starlet
The original 1944 film adaptation was nominated for seven Academy Awards and was later inducted into the National Film Registry and the Film Hall of Fame.
Mischa Barton, best known for her iconic role as Marissa Cooper in The O.C., brings a fresh intensity to the stage in this bold new production.
Dark, seductive and thrilling to the core, Double Indemnity is unmissable theatre for fans of classic crime and psychological drama.
