Production images have been released for the world premiere of Interview, now playing at Riverside Studios until 27 September 2025.
Starring Tony Award winner Robert Sean Leonard (House, Dead Poets Society, The Invention of Love) and Paten Hughes (A View From the Bridge, Stolen Girl), Interview is a seductive two-hander psychological thriller exploring truth, persona, and gender power.
Katya (Paten Hughes), a fiercely intelligent influencer turned movie star, is tired of being underestimated, objectified, and misrepresented by journalists—especially male ones.
When 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.
What begins as a simple interview in her New York apartment quickly spirals into a volatile game of confession, confrontation, and manipulation.
“In an era where every screenshot can go viral, nothing is off the record,” teases the production.
Interview was first made a cult classic by Theo van Gogh’s provocative 2003 film, with a screenplay by Theodor Holman. It was later adapted into a 2007 U.S. film starring Steve Buscemi.
Now, director and adaptor Teunkie Van Der Sluijs brings the story to the London stage, asking urgent questions: 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?
The creative team includes scenic design by Tony Award-winner Derek McLane, costume design by Bernat Buscato, lighting design by Jackie Shemesh, sound design by Ata Güner, and projection design by idontloveyouanymore (Anna West and Davi Callanan).
Associate designer is Ben Davies, with Zoë Templeman-Young as associate director and Christina Fulcher as movement and intimacy director.
Casting is by Julia Crampsie CDG and Wayne Linge for Crampsie Linge Casting. The production is general managed by Smart Entertainment and produced by Tony Award-winner Douglas Denoff, with co-producers Kevin Kinsella, Alexander “Sandy” Marshall, and Broadway Rainbows.
