What to expect from Double Double at Barn Theatre Cirencester?

Starring Daniel Brocklebank as Duncan and National Television Award-winner Faye Brookes as Phillipa, Double Double – written by Olivier and Tony Award-winner Roger Rees and Jersey Boys co-writer Rick Elice – has been described as My Fair Lady meets Dial M for Murder.

When Phillipa's well-to-do husband Richard dies just weeks before he's set to inherit a fortune, she attempts to pull off an epic con to get her hands on the money. 

She discovers a homeless man, Duncan, bears an uncanny resemblance to her dead husband – and if she can get this shabby chap to pass for her dearly departed, both of them could walk away with a share of the money. 

An intense, psychological game of wits, the two jostle throughout to get the upper hand – and with an epic twist that absolutely nobody could expect, Double Double promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the very last line.
