Double Indemnity tickets

Mischa Barton (The O.C.) makes her UK stage debut in a razor-sharp adaptation of Double Indemnity, one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century. Playing a strictly limited run at the Wycombe Swan, book your official tickets today.  

What is Double Indemnity about?

Los Angeles, 1930s. In the shadow of the Great Depression, Walter Huff is a brilliant insurance salesman whose instinct for fraud has made him dangerously good at his job. But when he encounters the alluring and manipulative Phyllis Nirdlinger while discussing her husband’s life insurance policy, professionalism gives way to obsession.

Seduced by desire and blinded by greed, they devise the perfect scheme: murder the husband, trigger the double indemnity clause, and vanish with the money. Yet as suspicion tightens and guilt seeps in, cracks begin to form. In a world where passion distorts judgement and trust is a fatal weakness, will Walter and Phyllis outwit the law — or destroy each other first?

It’s worth the applause

• The 1944 film adaptation was nominated for seven Oscars, and was inducted into the National Film Registry in 1992, and the Film Hall of Fame in 2007.
