Interview
She’s done being the headline. Now she’s writing it….
ONE NIGHT. TWO PEOPLE.
JUST THE TRUTH
OR SOMEONE’S VERSION OF IT
Production Images have been released of Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard and Paten Hughes who star in the World Premiere of a new stage adaptation of Interview. A seductive two-handed psychological thriller about truth, persona, and gender power currently playing at Riverside Studios until 27 September.
Katya (Paten Hughes,) a fiercely intelligent influencer turned movie star, is sick of being underestimated, objectified...and misrepresented by journalists...especially the male ones. When the fading political journalist Pierre Peters (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 New York apartment swiftly spirals into a volatile game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation.
In an era where every screenshot can go viral, nothing is off the record. First made a cult classic by Theo van Gogh’s provocative 2003 film with a screenplay by Theodor Holman, followed by an early European stage production outside the UK, and then and its 2007 U.S. film remake with Steve Buscemi, Interview has captivated audiences around the world. Now, currently playing at Riverside Studios, adapted and directed by Teunkie Van Der Sluijs, it taps into everything we’re all questioning right now: Who gets to tell the story? Who owns the narrative? And what happens when a woman who’s always been the subject of the story finally decides to flip the script?
