From celebrated screenwriter Chris Lang and acclaimed production company Story Films (Deceit), this extraordinary story explores the stranger-than-fiction tale of Anne and John Darwin, the couple who deceived the world, their family and friends after John faked his own death to claim life insurance and avoid bankruptcy.
Led by transformative performances from BAFTA winner Monica Dolan as Anne and Eddie Marsan as John and told through Chris Lang’s poignant, humorous and insightful script, Story Films’ four-part series is an utterly compelling drama that offers a fresh take on the traditional true crime narrative.
