A major UK tour of a gripping new adaptation of a classic film noir thriller is coming to Nottingham next month – with Hollywood star Mischa Barton in the lead role.
Double Indemnity is considered one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century and this new stage adaption is coming to Nottingham’s Theatre Royal on Tuesday, February 14, with a last performance on Saturday, February 14.
This bold, seductive production of the film noir masterpiece stars Mischa Barton (The O.C.) who makes her UK stage debut. The production is touring major venues across the UK and Ireland until May before a West End season.
Set in Los Angeles during the 1930s, amidst the wreckage of the Great Depression, Double Indemnity follows Walter Huff, a sharp-eyed insurance salesman who has built his career spotting scams. But when he meets the dangerously seductive Phyllis Nirdlinger (Barton) to discuss her husband’s life insurance policy, he is drawn into a web of lust, greed, and betrayal.
Together, they plot the perfect crime: murder the husband, cash in the policy, and vanish into the Californian sunset. But passion clouds judgment and guilt corrodes even the most perfect of plans. As their conspiracy unravels and mistrust festers, Walter and Phyllis find themselves battling not only the law, but each other.
