ONE NIGHT. TWO PEOPLE. JUST THE TRUTH OR SOMEONE’S VERSION OF IT.
Hailed as a ‘powerful, pulsating power play’ (Reviews Hub) Interview is a ‘thought-provoking’ (The Times) ‘electric dance of power which questions who really wields influence’ (The Guardian).
Paten Hughes is ‘absolutely superb’ (Theatre and Tonic) as Katya, a fiercely intelligent influencer turned movie star, who is sick of being underestimated, objectified and misrepresented by journalists...especially the male ones.
When the fading political journalist Pierre Peters, played by the ‘utterly brilliant’ (Stage to Page) Robert Sean Leonard, is assigned to interview her, he’s bitter and dismissive, but Katya has her own reasons for agreeing to the encounter. A tense evening in her Brooklyn apartment swiftly spirals into a volatile game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation. ‘Their chemistry sizzles together’ (Theatre and Tonic)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘Interview is as thrilling as a thriller gets and with stunning performances and a beautiful set design, this is one play I implore you to go and see. It really is something very special that I could easily see transferring to the West End.’
