Double Indemnity
Dates: Tue 10 Mar – Sat 14 Mar 2026 | Theatre Royal Brighton
Los Angeles, 1930s.
Amidst the wreckage of the Great Depression, Walter Huff, a sharp-eyed insurance salesman, has built his career spotting scams.
But when he meets the dangerously seductive Phylis Nirdlinger (Barton) to discuss her husband’s life insurance policy, he finds himself drawn into a web of lust, greed, and betrayal.
Together they plot the perfect crime: murder the husband, cash in the policy, and disappear into the Californian sunset. But passion can cloud judgement, and guilt can corrode the most perfect of plans.
With each step increasingly risky, and as mistrust simmers, will Walter and Phyllis outsmart the law – or each other?
James M. Cain’s thrillingly amoral masterpiece of murder, deceit, and mystery is adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway and directed by Oscar Toeman.
