The Barn Theatre - Double Double

A ROMANTIC THRILLER

By Rick Elice and Roger Rees

Two Strangers. One Big Lie.

Weeks before his 37th birthday, Philippa’s husband Richard dies – the birthday that the terms of his inheritance required him to be alive and married. In the throes of grief, Philippa hatches a plan: find someone she can pass off as Richard and split the £2million windfall.

The good news is that she’s found Richard’s doppelganger in Duncan. The bad news? Duncan is homeless, shabby and has a broad Scots accent. Can she turn him into a passable version of genteel antiques collector Richard?

What follows is a witty psychological duel where Philippa and Duncan each struggle to get the upper hand, entangling feelings and second guessing intentions. Because now the con is on, who really has the most to lose?

Double Double has theatrical pedigree. Written by Roger Rees (Olivier and Tony-award winning actor) and Rick Elice (co-writer of Jersey Boys), the Barn are reviving Double Double after its acclaimed debut in 1986.
Pygmalion meets Dial M For Murder, this story of power, love and illusion will draw you in and keep you guessing until the very last line.
