⭐ MISCHA BARTON TO MAKE UK STAGE DEBUT IN DOUBLE INDEMNITY ⭐
A major UK & Ireland tour of gripping new adaptation of the classic film noir thriller DOUBLE INDEMNITY has been announced.
Hollywood star Mischa Barton (The O.C.) makes her long-awaited UK stage debut as the ultimate femme fatale in DOUBLE INDEMNITY, a darkly compelling new stage adaptation of one of the greatest crime novels of the 20th century, written by James M. Cain.
The story that inspired Billy Wilder’s legendary film noir masterpiece opens at Eastbourne’s Devonshire Park Theatre on 5th February 2026 and then travels to cities and towns in the UK & Ireland until May.
Barton commented: “I am absolutely thrilled to be returning to the stage and making my UK theatre debut in ‘Double Indemnity’. This classic film noir favourite is a gripping tale of deceit, tension, and suspense and I cannot wait to step into the role of Phyllis and share her with audiences across the UK and Ireland for the first time.”
James M. Cain’s thrillingly amoral masterpiece of murder, deceit, and desire is adapted for the stage by Tom Holloway and directed by Oscar Toeman, promising a razor-sharp, atmospheric reimagining of one of the most iconic crime stories ever written.
DOUBLE INDEMNITY brings together the glamour and danger of old Hollywood with the tension and allure of classic noir storytelling. A must-see event that will immerse audiences in a world of danger, desire and double-crossing hearts.
